Tompkins County Relocalization Project

[Tompkins County Relocalization Project <tcrp-news AT lists.ibiblio.org>]

The third in a series of recent articles on the use of biomass for
local heating is this month's offering at tclocal.org.  In
"Funding and Finagling the Transition to Biomass Heat and Power,"
TCLocal contributor Krys Cail reviews three local biomass projects
and examines the role of local and larger-scale governmental
entities in supporting the development of the biomass industry in
Tompkins County.  The article can be found at
