Brubaker Urges Business Owners to Attend Alternative Energy Investment Forum 

HARRISBURG – Senator Mike Brubaker (R-36) is urging business owners to attend an educational briefing next week to learn more about alternative energy programs available to local businesses. 

Brubaker said that many local business owners are eligible for alternative energy projects that were recently enacted as part of the Alternative Energy Investment Act approved by the General Assembly in 2008. The new law includes funding for government loan, grant and rebate programs for the purchase and installation of alternative energy technology.  

"Energy costs are a major concern for many business owners, and many of the new state programs available for businesses can dramatically reduce these monthly costs," Brubaker said. "Local businesses deserve their fair share of funding from these new programs, and I am hopeful that this forum will help local business owners learn more about the available programs." 

Brubaker will be the featured speaker for the event and will outline the types of financing and capital sources available for alternative energy investments.  

The forum will be held on June 18 at Eden Resort Inn and Suites in Lancaster from 7:30 a.m. until 9 a.m. The forum will be hosted by the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
