The third in our series of six energy workshops. November 19, 2015 in John Day, Oregon.
This workshop is part of a series of six energy workshops taking place across Oregon that will help rural communities identify energy savings and energy generation opportunities, and invest in local energy programs and projects.
All of the workshops are co-hosted by Sustainable Northwest, Lake County Resources Initiative, and Wallowa Resources. The John Day workshop is being developed in collaboration with Grant County, City of John Day and GREAT Corp. who are pursuing investments in clean energy to help create a healthier environment for their community, grow the tax base, and save and keep money in their community.
