ENERGIZING SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
We're pleased to announce the Suburbs Alliance's new Energy Office!
Rising energy costs are straining
already tight municipal budgets. Case studies suggest that savings
from energy efficiency can reach into the millions of
dollars! But while savings are important, reducing energy use
and converting to renewable resources means less money spent on
imports and more spent locally. It also leads to a cleaner
environment, improved public health and slowed global warming.
That's why the Suburbs Alliance is
facilitating an energy audit of municipal buildings in a sample of
our member cities. With the support of DLEG's Rebuild Michigan
program, we're partnering with DTE Energy to determine workable solutions for local cities.
Stay tuned for details!

interns are working their magic in the Michigan Suburbs Alliance and
throughout our member cities! Their projects include public health
and public policy programming; DDA streamlining; laying the
groundwork of the Energy Office; and human resource development.

the folks who strengthening southeast Michigan this spring.
