Filed under: DC Greenworks - green roofs
Last week I spoke to the instructor at my yoga studio about the grant that DC Greenworks has in parntership with the Office of the Deputy Major for Planning and Economic Development, called “greeNEr”. The grasnt is part of a neighborhood improvement fund to help revitalize H Street in NE, DC. The yoga business owner expressed interest in getting a green roof on her building so I setup a meeting with her and I to meet with Ty Voyles from DC Greenworks. Luckily, the current biulding owner had a green roof in mind when he updated it in 2006, so the roof’s membrane is in good shape, which will save him money to build a green roof. We are now working with the building owner and the yoga business owner to write-up a proposal. I am really excited that I was able to help make this connection for DC Greenworks. They have this grant which can be used for up to 11 green roofs and they have until April to get them all contracted. I hope to help them fulfil this goal through my volunteer services.
