GREEN BUSINESS PROGRAM

The Green Business Program is a membership program creating a sustainable business community while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

If you’re ready to make energy upgrades and aren’t sure where to start, become a member of our Green Business Program. We can provide resources on anything from LED upgrades to financing and implementing building renovations like insulation, weatherization, and more.

WHY Become a member?


SAVE YOUR BUSINESS MONEY

An efficient building has significantly lower overhead costs. Let us help you reduce the initial investment through various rebates and grants for a faster payback time.

REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN OUR REGION

Commercial buildings contribute to one-fifth of our local carbon emissions through energy consumption. By upgrading appliances to more efficient models, weather proofing your business, and more, you can reduce the overall carbon footprint of your business.
