RRBC...Now Powered by the Sun
This week Renova Energy Corp., a CVEP investor and Palm Desert-based green energy systems contractor, installed a demonstration solar panel to power the three-tiered water fountain which greets visitors upon the entry at Rabobank Regional Business Center. The installation, which was at no cost to CVEP, is a photovoltaic SunTech system, creating nearly 700 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The cascading water fountain is now pumping off of 100 percent pure sunshine. Click to read more. |

CVEP & SCORE Strengthen Partnership
CVEP welcomed SCORE, Counselors to America's Small Business, as a virtual tenant of the Rabobank Regional Business Center six months ago. This week, the strategic alliance became even stronger. CVEP and SCORE on Tuesday announced its decision to locate a permanent satellite office in Rabobank Regional Business Center, further solidifying the status of a one-stop shop for businesses and budding entrepreneurs. This satellite office for SCORE whose neighbors now include the Coachella Valley iHUB and the Coachella Valley Small Business Development Center is a natural fit with SCORE's Palm Desert office. For CVEP this is a fantastic addition as we work to attract new businesses and jobs to the region. Click here to read more. |
