Tax incentives power Oregon solar project
PORTLAND After nearly two years of planning and negotiations, Portland Habilitation Center Northwest received its first solar panels for an 870-kilowatt solar system at its new industrial facility in Northeast Portland. When completed in fall of 2008, the installation is likely to become Oregon’s largest commercial solar project.
U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corp., a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), provided the majority of the financing for the system. U.S. Bancorp will own and maintain the solar system while taking advantage of Oregon Business Energy Tax Credits (BETC), which Portland Habilitation Center would not be eligible to receive as a nonprofit. The solar installation is expected to save the Habilitation Center nearly $75,000 in annual energy costs, hedging against rising energy costs, according to Steven McGrath of Solar Venture Partners, which served as the solar consultant on the project.

Full spread of flavorful
Aloha from Oregon.
As in Aloha, Ore., the town south of Portland?
No.
Something to do with Hawaii?
Well, yes, indirectly.
Judi Dodson, founder of Aloha from Oregon, a maker of chutneys, pepper jellies, butters and marmalades, said she intentionally chose a business name that would invite questions.

Can housing be green — and cheap?
When it comes to housing, Portlanders place a high value on affordability and sustainability._______________________________________________________
That was a major finding of the approximately 13,000 public surveys compiled and released last year as part of VisionPDX, the community visioning project championed by Mayor Tom Potter.
Such results help explain why various city agencies and the Metro regional government are trying to create green housing for families with young children.
