SAN FRANCISCO -- Tomorrow, Nancy Stoner, the acting Assistant Administrator for Water at E.P.A. headquarters in Washington, D.C., will tour the EcoCenter at Heron's Head Park during a visit to California. Nearly every feature of the 1,500-square-foot facility pushes the envelope for innovation and is used to educate the public about renewable energy, pollution and greenhouse gas reduction, wastewater treatment, "green" building materials, and the green economy. The Bayview Hunters Point center was built in a disadvantaged area and made possible through stimulus Backing provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Media are invited to participate in the open-press tour and interview Stoner along with key state, local and non-profit leaders to discuss this innovative public partnership aimed at increasing green jobs.
