Small Business Energy Summit

I am pleased to be a member of the organizing committee for the upcoming "Energy Summit" on Thursday, February 18th at 5:30 at the Elder Schaeper Center.  Merchants organizations from East and West Price Hill, Westwood, Cheviot and Queensgate are sponsoring the summit, along with Price Hill Will and the Green Contractors Coalition.  There will be a panel discussion regarding energy credits and incentives available to small business owners to retrofit their businesses and become more energy efficient.  Panel participants include the Ohio Dept. of Economic Development, Duke Energy, the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance and EcoStruction as well as contractors who conduct energy audits.  There are many simple and inexpensive changes which can drastically reduce energy usage and build profits and efficiency.  I am hopeful that this summit will provide necessary information to help small businesses save money on their energy costs and help the environment at the same time.
