Economic Development Entrepreneurs tourism energy transit and water resources projects

Summary a local area development project built around existing facilities that need upgrading and expansion to manage tourism flows and local typical product capabilities to enhance the community’s product and services offerings.
Objectives Making the local area a reference point for multiple overnight stays in the community and for customers who visit adjacent territories, with a focus on
Business Tourism – events to market local, regional and global products and services;
Vacation Tourism - built around families and small groups with an emphasis on culinary, wellness, historic preservation, cultural heritage and local typical products.
Phase 1 qualify and quantify participation in the project of businesses, associations and others followed by capitalization and commercialization of the project.
Phase 2 Identification and quantification of the work to be carried out at existing and planned facilities for the project - expansion, modernization and new structures - necessary to achieve the project’s medium and long term objectives.
Phase 3 capital fundraising and implementation of the second phase.
Phase 4 creation of the new legal structure owned by the project participants from Phase 1 and the new capital.

FAQs

About community development projects that focus on travel related services, local typical products, energy efficiency, transit and water resources.

Objectives an economic development effort designed to sustain small businesses, start-ups and nonprofits in a community, including but not limited to:

Direct sales of products and services within and across communities

Appropriate technologies, know-how transfers and related training

Capital and human resources development.

Who Can Participate any business, start-up, nonprofit and local government entity can participate in projects and transactions that take place in our communities.

How Much Does It Cost there are no fees required to participate in a community project or transaction. Local and other participants may elect to provide an in-kind product and/or service contribution in an amount of their choice. This in kind contribution, where applicable, generates:

A return on capital to the participant(s)

A Development Fund that sets aside resources for projects and transactions in the community

An Enterprise Fund to capitalize start-ups and for training.

Exclusivity there are no exclusivity arrangements other than the ownership of the purchasing clients by the in-capital project participants in the respective communities.

Opting Out a project and/or transaction participant may elect to opt out at any time, subject to the completion of pending work.

Creating Self-Sufficient Communities Food Production Energy Efficiency and Resilient Neighborhoods

Off-grid Neighborhoods with renewable energy capabilities, water management and waste-to-resource systems generating surplus energy, water and food that enable self-reliant and resilient neighborhoods in your community.

Self-sufficient Neighborhoods with indoor vegetable, outdoor seasonal gardens and high-tech vertical farms, composted household waste generate their own energy from using a mixture of geothermal, solar, solar thermal, wind, and biomass distributed by a smart grid as well as a biogas plant will turn any non-compostable household waste into power and water.

Integrated Neighborhoods with High-yield Organic Food Production

Advanced Methods for Growing Food such as aquaponics, permaculture, food forests, and high-yield organic farming, grow more food with 90% less water. Organic food from vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, fish, eggs and chicken year round long as supplementing seasonal gardens fertilized by livestock waste.

Combined Heat and Power involves the recovery of otherwise-wasted thermal energy to produce useful thermal energy or electricity, configured either as a topping or bottoming cycle. It is a form of distributed generation, which is located at or near the energy-consuming facility, whereas conventional generation takes place in large centrally-located power plants. CHP’s inherent higher efficiency and elimination of transmission and distribution losses from the central power plant results in reduced primary energy use and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Lower Energy Costs Reduced Emissions Secure and Resilient Energy Supply

CHP can be utilized in a variety of applications that have significant electric and thermal loads. Eighty-eight percent of existing CHP capacity is found in industrial applications, providing electricity and steam to energy-intensive industries such as chemicals, paper, refining, food processing, and metals manufacturing. CHP in commercial and institutional applications is currently 12 percent of existing capacity, providing electricity, steam, and hot water to hospitals, schools, university campuses, hotels, nursing homes, office buildings and apartment complexes.

Benefits to Your Community CHP reduces emissions of GHGs and other air pollutants by as much as 40 percent or more. It consumes essentially zero water resources in generating electricity and offers a low-cost approach to adding new electricity generation capacity. On-site electric generation reduces grid congestion and improves the reliability of the electricity distribution system and defers the need for investments in new central generating plants, transmission and distribution infrastructure, helping to minimize increases in electricity costs.

Tourism the Environment and Your Community

energy efficiency water conservation business and vacation travel

The Importance to a community of environmental issues and practices like energy efficiency and water conservation cannot be underestimated, especially if tourism is a contributor to the local economy.

Locally Managed Travel Services

Highly Educated Travelers family and group vacationers select destinations primarily on-the-basis of cultural, gastronomic, wellness and other preferences; increasingly, they expect that the places they visit reflect their values on key issues like recycling practices, air and water quality, as well as the availability and quality of public transit. The Logistics of Travel are defined as:

Anchoring stays in strategic locations along planned trip routes conveniently located to local points of interest and minimizing the number of accommodation changes; hence, fewer times packing and unpacking, thus lowering accommodations and transport costs in

Hub and Spoke Locations smaller towns and rural communities with regional rail, bus, van, car and air connections strategically located within 200 or less miles of larger metropolitan areas

Sightseeing, meals and other planned events in a hub and spoke fashion, saving time and money, but also an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the places and the people you are visiting

Mode of Transport selections are a function of number of persons, trip length as well as the time of year you are traveling. Rationalizing travel movements, ascertaining transport mode(s) availability and costs are the key to a successful trip planning.

Saving Energy on Main Street and in Historic Districts

Business Travelers require efficient plans to meet trip objectives. This may entail visiting several locations in a compressed period-of-time to seek investment and sales opportunities. They look to Main Streets shopping and entertainment venues, Historic Districts and other community neighborhoods that have or plan to put in place energy savings measures as well as other environmental safeguards that help reduce the cost of doing business in that local area. A successful community requires:

 

Water Supply Planning  

 A Quality of Life Growth Management Process 

 Growth Management Land Use and Archeological Cultural and Historic Preservation Planning

Developing Projects built around existing facilities that need upgrading and/or expansion to manage tourism flows and local production capabilities to enhance the community’s offerings.
