Economic Development Case Studies Webinar

Date: 2/17/2010

Location: CO

Contact: Ryan Harry, BCS Inc.

Phone: (303) 425-6800

10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (MT)
This Webinar will explore how communities and utilities benefit from the development of wind projects. In addition to lease payments to landowners and increased tax revenues to local governments and school districts, wind power projects create jobs, helping to stem the decline in population/customer base in many rural areas, increase demand for local services and supplies, and diversify utility resource portfolios, reducing risk and price volatility. Presenters will address these benefits through case studies as well as present models that can be used to estimate local economic benefits. The Webinar is free, but space is limited at some events, so reserve your place early. To participate in this Webinar, please contact Ryan Harry.
