Greetings!
This fall 4CORE is busy decreasing green house gas emissions (20,572 metric tons to date!) and getting ready to implement new and improved energy efficiency programs.
We have no news on the Solar Thermal Rebate program, but we are documenting how this program helped create green jobs in our area to generate momentum for the return of the program.
We'll also be initiating a new program in early September, to be announced soon!
In the meantime, learn more about whats going on by checking out all the events happening in our area in the text bar at left.
