Riverside meeting will discuss funding for green technology

   City managers and economic development directors from cities throughout the Inland Empire will meet with U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Agency representatives on new funding available to the region through a report commissioned by the Green Valley Initiative.

   The meeting is hosted by the Green Valley Initiative and will take place from 3 - 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 17, at the Inland Empire Economic Partnership offices at 1201 Research Park Drive in Riverside.

   Each city will present their project ideas to EDA representatives to determine whether they might qualify for the funds. It's an opportunity for them to get an idea of what new projects are in the planning stages for the region, and how the EDA hopes to spark the growth of green technology in the region.
