Turn your building into a powerplant and add another revenue stream. We’ll teach you how to avoid bad solar leasing deals by financing your own panels and getting a new roof in the process.
We’ll also look at the valuable SREC tax credit, now lapsing, and talk about the new incentive program from the state.
This meeting will have information relevant to existing buildings as well as new purchases. We’ll show you how going solar and then charging for electrical and/or heat can leave you with a premium over market rates. This is an extremely valuable presentation for everyone looking to invest. Your existing property may be your best opportunity! Or find untapped potential in a new purchase.
This segment will be presented by Jamie Leef. Jamie is an expert at integrating solar into new building projects, with over five years of experience designing photovoltaic systems and two decades in residential and commercial construction, both on-site and in the office. He has solar PV installed on his own home and enjoys tracking its performance on his iPhone, sometimes even while away with his family taking time to bike, climb, or ski in the woods.

The most important thing you can take away from this event will be mediation. Mediation is your last chance to resolve an eviction before you see the judge and all your sins are laid bare. Learn how you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by mediating.
This is a rare opportunity to learn from Housing Court staff. Paid members are encouraged to submit questions to WorcesterPOA@GoogleGroups.com one week prior to the event. Questions may be taken from the audience but maybe not. Discussing active cases will not be allowed. This meeting will not be videotaped or minuted.
Book early, this event may become standing-room only (we can add capacity if we know you’re coming).

We’re going to build on the success of our 2016 Candidates’ Night and extend this year’s invitation to all primary candidates.
Candidates’ Night is where we tell candidates our policy priorities, horror stories, and ideas. Candidates for House and Senate can tell us what they think, what they would do, or ask questions of us. The event is a moderated discussion between landlords and our soon-to-be elected officials.
Attendees will leave feeling like we’ve been heard, and also, we may have a better idea of who we want to vote for in the primary and general election. Candidates will leave feeling like they have a connection to their constituency, and also, like they’re better prepared to discuss housing policy on the stump.
There is ample free parking beside the school. Do not park along the fence where the busses park. Do not park in any of the handicap spots unless you have the proper handicap parking sticker.
