DERBY >> Harnessing the power of the sun has become the latest mission for TEAM Inc., the Valley nonprofit agency that assists the elderly, youth and economically disadvantaged people.
During a press conference Tuesday at TEAM headquarters, the day before Earth Day, an environmentally sound collaboration between TEAM and UIL Holdings Corp., and its subsidiary, The United Illuminating Co., was unveiled.
