- MICRACLE | Walnut Way
The Budget Sources & Uses Upcoming McKnight Foundation Proposal The Budget “The MIRACLE Campus capital stack is designed to be both catalytic and repayable. Walnut Way is pairing a CDFI property loan for site acquisition with flexible, recoverable capital to close the remaining building and construction gap, bridge to federal Direct Pay tax credits, and unlock additional public and private resources. Federal Healthy Homes dollars are already flowing through an $850,000 earmark to support whole‑home health upgrades, while grant programs such as Focus on Energy and PSC funding help round out the clean energy components. The 1 MW system and hub are structured so that federal Direct Pay, behind‑the‑meter savings, and tenant revenues together provide a clear pathway to repay recoverable capital and sustain operations.” The MIRACLE Campus is designed to deliver measurable benefits for residents and the broader city. On the energy side, the 1 MW system will generate clean electricity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide behind‑the‑meter savings and bill relief that keep dollars circulating in community rather than leaving as utility payments. As a Healthy Homes one‑stop shop, MIRACLE will help channel home repair, weatherization, indoor air quality, and electrification resources to households with the most acute needs, using resident‑generated data to target interventions. Workforce and contractor pipelines will create local, transferable skills and credentials in clean energy and building trades. Over time, the corridor strategy scales these impacts across multiple sites and neighborhoods, offering a replicable model for community‑owned energy and whole‑home health.” Budget Items Amount Sources Uses Total Amount Property Acquisition $900,000 CDFI Property Loan Property Acquisition $1,100,000 Solar PV System (1 MW) $1,000,000 Recoverable Capital (Acquisition + Solar) Solar PV System (1 MW) $1,400,000 Battery Storage (1 MW / 4 MWh) $150,000 Walnut Way / MLKEDC Equity Battery Storage (1 MW / 4 MWh) $500,000 Soft Costs $474,000 Healthy Homes Funds Flowing Now Soft Costs (engineering, legal, interconnection) $250,000 CDFI Property Loan $500,000 Energy Program Grants (PSC / Focus / others, est.)
