Green is the new Gold!

Be a big fish in your own pond and make money turning green into gold.

The development of green, affordable housing can be good for business. We’ll show you how at a free workshop that includes dinner on MAP. If you want to build what people will buy, this is your chance to learn what consumers are willing to pay for.* *Survey published in November 2001 issue of Professional Builder.

In just one evening, we’ll cover the eight categories associated with going green. Hands-on exercises will give you the chance to compare your project approach with the Green Communities Criteria. Best of all, you’ll walk away with ten steps for funding green; including grants, low-interest loans and tax credits.

C’mon. Have dinner on us and get the knowledge you need to make more money as you make the world a better place. You’ll discover that what’s good for the earth and the people on it really can turn green into gold.
