Learn How You Can Benefit From Stimulus Plan

Bucks County Congressman Patrick Murphy will host a meeting Monday, March 9 to help small business owners find out how they can take advantage of the $789 billion stimulus plan by going green. Entitled “Small Businesses: The Benefits and Opportunities in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of Going Green,” the seminar will be held starting at 7 p.m. in the Gateway Auditorium of Bucks County Community College in Newtown.

Tom Tuffey, director of PennFuture and chairman of the Smart Energy Initiative, and Sally Silver, of the Smart Energy Initiative of Southeast Pennsylvania, will join Murphy in outlining the ways small business owners can participate by adopting environmentally-friendly practices.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide unprecedented levels of financial support for the development of renewable energy and energy efficient industries across the nation. This seminar will provide background on emerging energy sectors and translate the complex new legislation into market opportunities for local businesses.

Additionally, the seminar will allow attendees to construct a meaningful business framework for energy market opportunities that integrates existing Pennsylvania energy legislation, the new federal stimulus legislation, and ongoing federal and state policy trends.
