The University of Toledo, along with the Regional Growth Partnership, has been working in conjunction with Green Energy Ohio to bring an information-filled workshop to Northwest Ohio. This workshop will provide information to business professionals on sustainable (green) energy practices, how to implement sustainable building practices, and the financial incentives available for businesses to implement these technologies to reduce their overall fixed costs.
Both nationally and statewide, there is a growing interest in sustainable energy. Come hear about how sustainable energy can create opportunity for your business and the significant efforts that Northwest Ohio is taking in order to be a leader in this important new industry.
