Buildingctgreen.com Posts Q A with Master Green Developer Stephen Soler
In the Q & A, Soler, a socially conscious developer, discusses bringing together all community stakeholders to create what he terms 's8220;a village's8221;. The end result will make better use of the community's8217;s infrastructure. Soler also explains how the project will embrace pedestrians with wide side walks and biking and walking trails.
In addition, Soler's8217;s interview discusses the projects funding and most notably the Green Building and Sustainable Design designation from the US Treasury. The designation allows the Georgetown Taxing District to issue up to $72.5 Million in Tax Exempt Bonds for the development.
Besides having a mix of residential and commercial buildings and a performing arts center, the town center will also have a new police station and a new train station. All buildings, new or renovated, will incorporate state-of-the-art technology and design, as well as energy-efficient systems such as photovoltaics and green roofs where applicable.
The plan also calls for reinstalling the turbine on the site'ss 18-foot waterfall that powered the wire mill for many years. The resulting hydroelectric dam will provide electricity for one of the commercial buildings.
A fuel cell will generate clean electric power. The heat from the fuel cell'ss generation of electricity will be utilized for other buildings-for example, to heat the pool at the health club facility.
