Description
Energy costs continue to rise, putting added pressure on small businesses. Fortunately, there are programs and incentives designed specifically to help offset those expenses. In our March Lunch & Learn panel discussion, we'll hear from Karina Gaft-Azcue from CET about available options that can cut costs and improve sustainability. Learn what you may qualify for and how to navigate the process.
We'll also hear from Chamber members working in the energy space, including Mark Tajima of B. Alpha Construction and Scott Cernak of Western Mass Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, and will have time for a Q&A to get your questions answered.
Space is limited; register today!
