Why is the Seminar is Critical for Local Leaders
The proposed legislation is loaded with incentives and financing vehicles that could act as a catalyst to move the country toward a more sustainable and energy efficient future for both the public and private sectors. The Community Greenhouse Foundation feels these incentives are an opportunity communities must take advantage of. It's time to “roll up our sleeves” and educate, facilitate and prepare the governmental and private sector for the Recovery Program. It is vital for these groups to be prepared for the opportunity which will facilitate the time frame to “get the funds on the street” and move America to energy efficiency.
