in partnership with Centennial and Madison Energy Infrastructure
has announced the completion of a new 1 MW(dc) rooftop solar installation at Hollinswood Shopping Center in Baltimore County
The project follows the 2.4 MW(dc) rooftop solar project that the companies recently completed at Cromwell Shopping Center
a 233,000 square foot shopping center anchored by an AutoZone mega hub and a Roses
The project is designed to reduce the cost of electricity for approximately 1,000 homes in the area
while increasing power production in the State of Maryland
The project uses over 1,500 solar panels with a ballasted racking system across Hollinswood Shopping Center's 100,000 square foot roof
The project received financing from AccelDev and will be owned and operated by Madison Energy Infrastructure
Venable served as transactional counsel to Centennial
"We're thrilled to collaborate again with Centennial and MEI to bring solar energy to Hollinswood Shopping Center," said Michael Jacoby
"These recent solar projects align with our company's commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and implementing ESG-focused initiatives across our properties
we're contributing to Maryland's goals of supporting our local communities with reduced electricity costs for families
while increasing power generation in the state through clean energy."
Founder and Managing Principal of Centennial: "The rooftop solar project at Hollinswood Shopping Center is the most recent example of how owners of commercial real estate can grow their net operating income while contributing to efforts to lower electricity costs for households and businesses
while increasing energy generation in Maryland – a state that currently imports nearly 40% of the electricity that it consumes."
President of AccelDev: "The Hollinswood project shows how strategic financing and strong partnerships can provide meaningful benefits for the customers and the communities they serve
AccelDev is proud to support Centennial and Broadstreet in bringing this vision to life once again
and to work with Madison to ensure long-term reliability and lasting value
This project builds on a successful track record of collaboration
reinforcing our commitment to empowering the DG developer ecosystem."

Centennial School District officials could be replacing its top administrator with the former head of the Central Bucks School District
who at one point was among the highest paid superintendents in the Pennsylvania public school system
While it's unknown at this time how much Lucabaugh could be paid if he is hired, Centennial would need to pay at least $171,000 and as much as $300,000 to compete with other salaries in the area, according to Pennsylvania Department of Education salary reports published in late April
Bedden left the Boyertown School District to join Centennial with a five-year contract in 2020 and was making $227,693
Bedden was the 63rd-hightest paid superintendent in Pennsylvania
Lucabaugh was making $315,000 about a month before a prompt and controversial resignation in November 2023
Lucabaugh's salary made him the third-highest paid superintendent in the state
behind the superintendents of Unionville-Chadds Ford School District ($322,967) and Philadelphia City School District ($340,000)
What do superintendents in Bucks County make?School superintendents in Bucks and eastern Montgomery counties tend to fall in the upper end of the pay scales compared to their colleagues across Pennsylvania
The average superintendent salary for the 2024-2025 school year in Bucks County's 13 school districts and the North Penn
Lower Moreland and Souderton Area school districts in Montgomery County is about $230,876.68
The average superintendent pay for the 2024-2025 school year
Here's a breakdown of what each area school district paid its superintendent
including how their salary compares to the statewide list and the years they have worked in each district
The data is from the individual salary reports
which include district-reported salaries of every professional in public and charter schools across the state on Oct

Centennial Airport is proud to celebrate the two-year anniversary of its pioneering Unleaded Aviation Fuel Program
becoming the first airport in the state of Colorado to offer Swift UL94
a FAA-approved unleaded aviation fuel for piston aircraft
UL94 has been available at the jetCenters of Colorado – Centennial location
Centennial Airport’s transition to unleaded fuel began with a resolution passed by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority Board of Commissioners in March 2023
authorizing incentives to accelerate the switch from 100LL (low-lead) to FAA-approved unleaded alternatives
the airport has reimbursed 105 STC applications and has seen UL94 account for over 20.5% of all aviation fuel for piston aircraft sold at Centennial Airport since its introduction (Jet A
the airport independently invested over $304,000 in fuel subsidies and STC reimbursements
The program’s success has helped position jetCenters of Colorado at Centennial Airport as the largest FBO user of UL94 in the country
a testament to the commitment from both the airport and its tenants
Centennial Airport’s leadership has also been recognized by the Colorado Aeronautical Board (CAB)
which approved two discretionary grants—$300,000 in 2024 and $350,000 in 2025—to further support the airport’s fuel subsidy program
These grants were made possible by Colorado House Bill 24-1235
signed into law by Governor Jared Polis in May of 2024
which authorized the CAB to distribute funding for unleaded aviation fuel initiatives
Centennial Airport contributed a 10% match to both grants
reinforcing its financial commitment to the transition
“Environmental sustainability is a key priority at Centennial Airport,” said Mike Fronapfel
“This program is our way of supporting industry-wide efforts to eliminate lead emissions without compromising aircraft performance or safety
It also reflects our commitment to listening to the concerns of our surrounding communities and responding with meaningful action.”
The initiative aligns with the FAA’s EAGLE (Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions) initiative
which seeks to eliminate leaded fuel in piston-engine aircraft by 2030
drop-in-ready unleaded aviation fuel that meets or exceeds ASTM standards
offering identical density and performance to 100LL without the environmental drawbacks of lead

Centennial Park has been named the #5 Best City Park in the United States by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards
this honor celebrates the park’s rich history
and the dynamic programming like Nashville’s Earth Day Festival
“This is a tremendous honor for our city and a true testament to the incredible work of our Metro Parks and Centennial Park Conservancy teams,” said Monique Horton Odom
“Centennial Park has long been a place where our community comes together to enjoy nature
and enjoy the many amenities the park has to offer
Being named one of the top five city parks in the country reaffirms just how special this place is to so many people.”
Centennial Park is one of Nashville’s most iconic and historic public spaces
dating back to the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition
The park is home to the only full-scale replica of the ancient Greek temple
and hosts a wide range of events throughout the year
including the long-running Big Band Dances — now in their 43rd year — and the Tennessee Craft Fair
celebrating its 54th anniversary this spring
Managed by Metro Parks and supported by the Centennial Park Conservancy
Centennial Park is a destination for sports and recreation
“As we mark our 40th anniversary supporting the Park and the Parthenon
it’s incredibly rewarding to see the park recognized on a national level,” said John Tumminello
“Centennial Park has been a beloved landmark for generations of Nashvillians
and we are more inspired than ever to keep preserving and enhancing this extraordinary place.”
construction will begin on the next phase of Centennial Park’s revitalization project
The Park Plaza and Event Pavilion Phase will focus on revitalizing the north end of Centennial Park
strengthening its connection to North Nashville and the future expansion of the 440 Greenway
Plans include a new vehicular grand entrance along Park Plaza and a multi-modal pathway to improve pedestrian and bicycle access from 31st Avenue
The historic Croquet Clubhouse will be transformed into a café
providing an exciting new amenity for visitors and generating sustainable revenue to support the Centennial Park Beautification Fund
A new lakefront event pavilion will also be constructed along the eastern edge of Lake Watauga
expanding the park’s ability to host community events
This Top Five designation from USA Today is both a reflection of Centennial Park’s significance to the people of Nashville and an exciting glimpse of what’s to come as the Park continues to grow and evolve

Lucie West Centennial High softball team endured through tons of suspense and nail biting en route to its previous two district titles
But this year, the team didn’t need to go through extra innings or walk-off home run to complete its three-peat
Hailey Brereton’s two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning gave the home team a lead it wouldn’t relinquish
tossing a complete-game shutout in the Eagles’ 6-0 win over Vero Beach during the District 7-7A title game on Thursday
District Softball roundup: John Carroll, Sebastian River, Okeechobee among area district champions
Region Baseball: Vero Beach, Martin County fall Thursday, each headed to winner-take-all Game 3s
Watch the best regional softball games in Florida
Among the players who’ve had a chance to hoist the district title each of the past three seasons
senior Autumn Prakash still thinks about the one that got away
but happy is to take three out of four as a consolation
but freshman year was a little bit of a slip-up,” she said with a smile
“But I’m glad we pulled through and stayed strong for the rest of the three years.”
Centennial (15-7) was the top seed in the district while Vero was seeded second
After reaching the region championship game a year ago
the Eagles will host a regional quarterfinal on Thursday
Vero Beach (13-11) is in line for an at-large postseason berth as the team began the week ranked seventh in Region 2-7A
Centennial has won three games against Vero
who despite playing the Eagles the best out of the teams in the district
According to Vero Beach head coach Aquaria Baines
the three-time reigning district champs have two key items going for them
but obviously they have a very strong pitcher that dominates in the circle
so it makes it a little more challenging,” Baines said
we’re not necessarily going to be able to win
Centennial out-hit its opponent 10-2 while Brereton finished with 13 strikeouts
Here are four takeaways from the May 1 game
Brereton’s blast over the fence wasn’t a fluke
The Murray State signee has displayed the ability to hit bombs
clubbing four home runs through 51 at-bats this season
That’s also twice as many long balls as she hit through her previous 166 at-bat during her first three seasons
“I kind of just thought to be confident and just have fun in the box,” she said
“I’ve worked on some new things that have worked for me that may not have worked in the past
I’ve never been this confident in the box.”
With last year’s graduation of long-time power hitter Keyhara Alleyne
Brereton has filled the void in the power department
Kylie Coblentz was the only player in the Eagles batting order to not produce a base hit
Centennial got production throughout the lineup
freshman Rayne Cohen going 3-for-3 at the plate to No
9 hitter Giuliana Cavallo delivering a key RBI double in the third
If the team continues to hit from 1-through-9
“This team is more dangerous than any team I’ve ever been on,” said Prakash
”Our bond is unbreakable and we’re just a whole family.”Â
Centennial head coach Richard Vasquez adds: “We’re going to keep the same system going
We’ve been working hard in the cage and it’s been just practice
Following the departure of junior Gabrielle Espich
Vero has leaned on a freshman in the circle
Taylor Stevens has done an admirable job filling the role as the team’s No
a role she’ll continue to have heading into the postseason
In the team’s district semifinal win over Treasure Coast
Stevens fought through control issues - 10 walks - to keep the Titans largely off the scoreboard
She allowed one hit and one earned run while striking out seven
The freshman could not replicate that success on Thursday
“She proved herself and kept us in this game
I think she’s going to be very important and strong for us in these upcoming seasons.”
Whenever hitters saw a two-strike count against Brereton
Vero players and coaches in the dugout shouted
The senior mixed her riseball and changeup well
with the latter often serving as the punch-out pitch
She also tinkered with her mechanics mid-game
As opposed to going all the way back and having a straight arm on her swing back
she bent her up and brought it up to produce more momentum to push forward and fire
The results suggest that the adjustments worked
But Brereton hasn’t been thrilled with her results this season to this point
Although she still ranks among area leaders in ERA (1.63)
strikeouts (206) and opponents batting average (.144)
each stat is not on pace with her performance from the previous two years
What does she believe is the reason for her “subpar” senior campaign
She pinned it out the pressure to make it state
Centennial fell short of that goal after dropping a heart-breaker to Jupiter in the regional finals a season ago
But by using the district championship as an example
I haven’t performed as well as I had last year or the year before because I was so worried about states,” Brereton said
“But I think the over-thinking is going to make everything worse
And I think we have a good chance if we all stick together like how we did today.”

Centennial School Board members are finalizing plans to hire former Central Bucks School District superintendent Abram Lucabaugh to oversee the district
Board member Patti Crossan confirmed Friday that a board majority has greenlit a reference check and is drafting a contract for Lucabaugh
Current Centennial Superintendent Dana Bedden is set to leave in August
Board members would need to vote to hire Lucabaugh at a public meeting
Board member Charles Martin declined to comment Friday
but noted: "To my knowledge no one has been hired yet."
said he has "deep concerns" about Lucabaugh heading the district
Lucabaugh's presence would create unnecessary division in Centennial and embolden the worst instincts of my fellow directors," Sadowski said in an email
Other Centennial board members did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment sent on Friday afternoon
did not immediately respond to a voice message left on a phone number associated with him Friday
Lucabaugh was a 17-year employee of the Central Bucks School District
He previously served as principal at Central Bucks East High School before he was appointed assistant superintendent in 2018
The departure came four months after he was given an early new five-year contract that included a $90,000 raise
which boosted Lucabaugh’s pay to $315,000 a year
making him one of the highest paid superintendents in Pennsylvania
Bedden earned $227,693 this year in Centennial
which is a smaller district than Central Bucks
Central Bucks also agreed to pay Lucabaugh a $50,000 "settlement payment" to resolve any "potential issues or claims" involving his employment
Lucabaugh of a pattern of harassment that undermined his ability to carry out the functions of his job and contributed to an environment of incivility and hostility during his tenure."
Central Bucks also awarded Lucabaugh a $10,000 consulting deal that kept him on as a consultant to the interim superintendent for 10 days
Lucabaugh issued multiple community statements where he defended the GOP-majority school board's actions
He vowed to protect students from inappropriate library materials
disputing claims that the district was a hostile environment for LGBTQ+ students
or that it failed to value and support all students
The district was named as a defendant in more than 20 state and federal court cases filed during Lucabaugh’s superintendent tenure, according to the dockets. They included seven investigations with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights involving sex discrimination and racial discrimination and retaliation.
his supporters spoke of him as a community leader
Last year Lucabaugh was considered for a new superintendent position, when his name was floated as a finalists in the Oley Valley School District in Berks County
Centennial looking to hire LucabaughCrossan said she was "very disappointed in this decision,' and that there were other "very good" candidates
adding she was "not sure how we ended up with Mr
Sadowski expressed concerns that some board members would give Lucabaugh a "free pass on the more controversial parts of his background because of their political leanings."
"I don't see how any of us can feel 100% confident we have the best choice in mind considering the many controversies and accusations of discrimination and intimidation during Dr
Lucabaugh's time at Central Bucks," he added
"This board is supposed to represent our neighbors and should be putting the success and safety of all students first."Â
Crossan also criticized the lack of community involvement and transparency with the decision
"There is no reason why members of the community can't sit in on interviews," she said
Sadowski described Lucabaugh as "courteous and professional" during the interview process
but agreed with Crossan that the residents deserve "ample opportunity to ask questions and make their voices heard."
"It would be a travesty to ram a choice this consequential down the throats of Centennial residents without at least a chance to have their valid concerns addressed," Sadowski added
"I can only hope my fellow directors will actually listen with an open mind..
(Lucabaugh) is more than welcome to try to change my mind as well."
