<br />HOW <br />A matching grants program would be created for property owners or tenants for green upgrades. (The <br />grants would be coordinated with other funding sources available through EWEB.) For vehicle <br />charging, the University of Oregon’s Community Planning Workshop will help determine optimal <br />locations for the publicly available electric charging stations. The City of Eugene is a partner with <br />Community Planning Workshop on the project. <br /> <br />WHEN <br />Energy efficiency upgrades through the funded Downtown Retrofit Program are anticipated to begin <br />by the spring. Upgrades using other funds could begin at that same time and would be available until <br />the funds are depleted. Vehicle charging stations could be added in installments over the next one to <br />three years. A requirement of the federal grant is that the majority of the stations be installed by fall <br />2010. <br /> <br />RELATED POLICIES/GOALS <br />The Green Infrastructure project is supported by past public involvement and policy documents <br />including the Sustainable Business Initiative; the Downtown Plan, the City Council 2009 Vision and <br />Goals; and the Downtown and Riverfront urban renewal plans. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
