Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP

Background:

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) allocated $787 billion in economic investment for the purpose of stimulating the national economy. Among other provisions, the ARRA provides a combination of tax incentives, direct spending, and loan guarantees to be administered through the Department of Energy to encourage the development of renewable energy and green building programs to reduce dependence on foreign oil, reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses, and promote economic recovery by preserving and creating jobs in the fields of green and sustainable technology. Additional measures are being pursued at the State and local level to encourage the production of renewable energy and promote greater energy efficiency in new and existing buildings.
