March 3rd meeting update

Jim Bates of Southern Exposure Renewable Energy Co.and Susanne Ditters lead member of the Oakland County Parks Greenhouses met today at the Greenhouses to discuss various ideas and Oakland Counties intent for the Greenhouses. While the County is still exploring best practices in the use of these newly acquired greenhouses it's clear that the main goal for them is to add value in support of the County Park System. Sussane upon listening to some of the project ideas put forth by Jim requested that a project proposal be prepared for consideration by the various decision makers. One of the proposals would be to install a demonstration solar air and water heating project for one or more of the Greenhouses.
