The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) offers tremendous funding opportunities to green design and construction initiatives for existing buildings and related projects. Funds are being committed to federal, state and local projects, including:

• "Green" buildings (including government, housing, and technology & medical research facilities);
• $5 billion Weatherization Assistance Program; and
• Training programs for developing new "green work forces."

However, these programs create not only unprecedented opportunities with fast-approaching deadlines, but also expanded risk and compliance concerns. Join us for an informative discussion concerning these opportunities and risks.

This webinar will provide:

• An overview of ARRA's "green building" components;
• A discussion of how users of design and construction services and industry participants can expect to receive ARRA funding; and
• An overview of best practices for managing risk and compliance concerns emanating from ARRA's green projects.

Webinar presenters include:

Andrew Wheeler, Senior Vice President of B&D; Consulting's energy and climate change team and former staff director of the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee

Patrick Miller, Associate with Baker & Daniels' construction and energy & climate change practices, and Vice President and General Counsel to the Design-Build Institute of America — Great Lakes Region
