Green Ideas

In regards to Council Candidate Mark Greene's idea about a Newcastle Environmental Enhancement Project, one of the basic tenets of the "green ideas" part of it would be to attract "green energy" companies to Newcastle through good marketing by the city and tax breaks, and then to let these companies assume the leadership in coming up with ideas to make Newcastle the green energy center of Washington, although the mere presence of several good companies here might in and of itself be enough to accomplish that goal.  The ideal situation would be for these companies to work on their own businesses and to assist the city as well (a quid pro quo) for tax breaks and other city perks) in developing innovative and long-lasting green energy productions, such as a geothermal plant.  Upon  election, Mark Greene will continuously be communicating with "green" companies and entrepreneurs in trying to get them to come to Newcastle, which in turn will provide employment opportunities for our citizens and expand our tax base.
