This webinar will cover why Michigan?s municipalities should consider participation in SolSmart and SolarAPP+. The permitting and inspection process is one of the most important tools that local governments have at their disposal to encourage solar energy installations. Streamlining the permitting process can help communities and homeowners go solar more easily. For local governments considering solar energy adoption, come learn how you can become a SolSmart designee and streamline your permitting process through the SolarAPP+.
This webinar aims to provide information for advocates, organizations and local governments on how to finance and develop a community solar project, as presented in the updated Michigan Solar Communities Guidebook. The Michigan Solar Communities Guidebook features content about resources, sustainable finance options, and examples of community solar models that fit into Michigan?s framework. You won?t want to miss on this opportunity to learn what deployment and investment in solar energy means in Michigan.
With amendments to Part 115 of Michigan?s Solid Waste Law going into effect earlier this year, now is a great time to learn what tools and resources EGLE offers to communities to assist them with their materials management programs. In this webinar, recycling specialists from EGLE will explain how they are helping Michigan communities navigate the complexities of these program changes. They will also elaborate on available technical assistance and educational services, as well as highlight grant opportunities communities can apply to for help funding successful materials management programs.
