Consultant to aid Wilmington organization
Friday, February 06, 2009
WILMINGTON — Energize Clinton County, a community organization promoting development of a renewable-energy resources economy in the Wilmington area, said a North Carolina consultant has agreed to help with the effort.
Pure Blue Energy, of Charlotte, N.C., has agreed to outline the requirements needed to obtain a legal declaration of Clinton County as a "green enterprise zone," through which tax incentives could be made available for wind and solar energy companies or other businesses that could create jobs, said Mark Rembert, a co-founder of Energize Clinton County.
Pure Blue Energy has agreed to provide its services at no cost, said Taylor Stuckert, who with Rembert founded their organization in late 2008.
Pure Blue Energy supports distribution of wind, solar and other renewable energy systems and promotes business opportunities for those enterprises. It also has an Ohio office, at Westerville near Columbus.
Stuckert and Rembert said they started their organization as part of Wilmington's effort to build a new economy as its main employer, express shipper DHL, wipes out thousands of jobs at its U.S. freight hub in a cost-cutting restructuring.
