Canary Media's Elizabeth Ouzts visited Enfield to cover the community's weatherization hub on South McDaniel Street, where Mayor Mondale Robinson, climate advocates, local leaders, and their families gathered in 90-degree heat to begin transforming a century-old bungalow into a hands-on energy efficiency training center.

Enfield's response to those headwinds is the story itself. As the article details, this community isn't waiting for permission.
