Kai Degner, Mayor of Harrisonburg, VA whose Open Space community summits have
dealt with sustainability amongst other things. A Google check will get you

<b>Subject:</b> Open space applied to sustainability projects?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
</div><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">I am working on a survey for NYC Accelerator for Cleantech
and Renewable Energy. We'd like to speak to anyone who has applied OST to
sustainability projects in communities, municipalities, regions. <br></p><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<br>
Our focus is to understand how OST can improve engagement and design process
for sustainability development or technology projects as well as mitigate
political and delay risks for financiers of these projects. <br>
<br>
Our finds have the potential to open up more liquidity for investment in
locally sponsored revenue or carbon credit generating sustainability projects
by better managing costs and delay or political risks of doing small locally
based deals. <br>
<br>
We're interviewing players at every step of the value chain from design through
project developers in solar, wind, tidal, geo-thermal, micro-grid,
permaculture, waste/discards, water, brown fields re-development, de-paving,
community agriculture to financing, construction, and management. <br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any knowledge of OST applied to projects like
these. We really look forward to talking to you about it. We'll share our
findings results with our survey participants. <br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
