Committee will solicit local businesses and explore incentives with Chamber and health department
Summary
The Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee tasked members to develop program goals and asked Melanie Cozzi to reach out to local business owners; members discussed incentives and partnerships with the Chamber of Commerce and Ogle County Health Department, and noted available utility incentives from ComEd and Nicor.
At its Dec. 9 meeting the City of Oregon Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee agreed to engage local businesses on a proposed "Eco Oregon" pledge and to explore incentives to help businesses meet and maintain sustainability goals. Melanie Cozzi was assigned to contact local business owners for feedback; committee members also flagged potential collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and the Ogle County Health Department for education and outreach.
Committee members named utility rebate and incentive programs (ComEd and Nicor) as examples of supports to highlight to businesses. The discussion focused on practical help for businesses—how to reach program goals and what incentives or educational opportunities would most effectively encourage participation—rather than on specific incentive commitments at this meeting.
