“Building owners and home owners wondering how to go about building an ecoroof can learn about it at Ecoroof Portland 2010 on Friday, March 12 and Saturday March 13, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (both days) at the Leftbanx Annex, 101 N. Weidler St.
“Ecoroofs are vegetated roof systems that absorb rain to reduce stormwater runoff and last longer than conventional roofing.
“There will also be information about how to apply for a City of Portland ecoroof incentive to offset construction costs. Incentives pay up to $5 per square foot for new ecoroof projects. The typical cost of an ecoroof in Portland ranges from $5 to $20 per square foot.”
“The Bureau of Environmental Services provides city residents with Clean River programs including, water quality protection, wastewater collection and treatment, and sewer installation.”
