Financing Renewable Energy in the Mid-AtlanticSeptember 22, 2009, 9am - 4:30pm, Stamp Student Union, University of Maryland, College Park, MD AGENDA (PDF) OUR SPONSORS: Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP; National Center for Smart Growth Research & Education; UMD Architecture, Planning & Preservation; Colvin Institute of Real Estate Development; UMD School of Public Policy; UMD School of Engineering; UMD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Federal mandates and a desire to reduce our dependency on foreign oil have all levels of government looking for ways to incorporate energy conservation and alternative energy into community priorities. Determining how to pay for these efforts is a critical step in helping communities address their energy needs in a sustainable way. Recognizing the very real connection between the development of energy sources that create less pollution and improvements to water and air quality in the Chesapeake Bay region, the Environmental Finance Center at the University of Maryland was pleased to offer a full-day event focused on the financing needs and opportunities tied to alternative energy and energy conservation. At the Financing Renewable Energy symposium, experts from across the country highlighted the resources available for creating sustainable financing for renewable energy projects, as well as present success stories featuring agriculture waste-to-energy, solar, wind, and energy conservation projects. The full-day symposium took place on September 22, 2009, from 9:00am to 4:30pm at the Stamp Student Union on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. A $60 registration fee was charged to cover the costs of a “greener” lunch and symposium materials. The symposium was subsidized with generous support from Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP and the National Center for Smart Growth.
