National Development Council Receives Major Award to Assist Low Income…

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

The National Development Council (NDC), the oldest national non-profit community development organization in the country, today announced it has been awarded $ 90 million from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund and New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC). The allocation is a portion of a $ 3.6 billion program designed to bring private investment monies into low-income and distressed communities across the U.S. The NMTC’s new allocation will bring NDC’s total NMTC allocation to date to $ 639 million.

“NDC is proud and honored to have a role in the most powerful economic development program created by the federal government,” said NDC President Robert W. Davenport. “We look forward to using our allocation to deliver on our mission to help revitalize struggling communities across the country.”

The NMTC, established by Congress in December 2000, provides a 39% tax credit, taken over seven years, for individual and corporate taxpayers who make equity investments to finance businesses and development in qualified low-income areas of the country. NDC was one of only 70 organizations to receive an allocation this year, selected from more than 300 applicants.

“I am proud of the National Development Council which is located in my district and congratulate them on their NMTC award,” said Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). “NDC has created thousands of jobs with their community renewal initiatives. I have no doubt that this important work will continue and expand with this latest allocation.”

With its previous $ 549 million in NMTC allocations, NDC has brought more than $ 1.2 billion in investments to 67 projects in 24 states. The projects have included manufacturing businesses, research and development facilities, and retail and commercial developments in underserved neighborhoods, as well as community facilities that provide health, social and educational services to low-income individuals and families.

About National Development Council

Founded in 1969, the National Development Council is a national non-profit organization that has evolved into one of the most progressive and innovative community and economic development organizations in the country. From a seminal role in the earliest days of the community development movement, NDC has grown into one of the most comprehensive suppliers of financing, development expertise, technical assistance and training for community revitalization efforts throughout the U.S. For more information, go to http://www.NationalDevelopmentCouncil.org.

Carolinas Cement Project Receives Air Quality Permit

WILMINGTON, N.C.–()–Officials from Carolinas Cement Company announced today that the
Division of Air Quality of the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) has issued an air quality permit to
parent company Titan America LLC to construct a cement plant in Castle
Hayne. The issuance of the Permit comes after four years of technical
review of the proposed facility to ensure it will comply with North
Carolina’s air quality regulations and standards.

“These laws and regulations governing industrial emissions are among the
strictest in the world”

The Permit was issued after extensive evaluation by DENR, including
using air models that incorporate government-approved local
meteorological, topographic and site specific information. The models
calculate the concentrations of regulated emissions at the boundaries of
the plant property and ambient concentrations throughout the local
region and other designated locations to assure they are below the legal
limits and do not impact the county’s attainment status.

“These laws and regulations governing industrial emissions are among the
strictest in the world,” said Dan Crowley, Titan America’s VP of
Corporate Engineering. “The issuance of our air quality permit is only a
first step. After the plant begins operating we will be subject to unannounced
audits by State and Federal regulators as well as internal compliance
audits to ensure our emissions are consistently within permitted limits.”

Carolinas Cement will meet all new EPA federal regulations for Portland
cement plants that were finalized in 2010, and these regulations are
fully represented in the DAQ air permit.

The company received a revised Draft Air Quality Permit on August 5,
2011 after a second round of extensive technical reviews of the proposed
facility to ensure it will comply with North Carolina and federal air
quality regulations and standards. Shortly after, the state held three
public hearing meetings at which New Hanover County citizens were
invited to offer verbal and written comments. The DAQ then scrutinized
the comments to ensure the permit addressed all relevant points.

“This was a long, exhaustive process,” said Robert Sells, Titan
America’s Mid-Atlantic Business Unit President, “But we are absolutely
committed to following the EPA’s rules to construct one of the safest
and most advanced cement plants in the world. We appreciate all the hard
work the State of North Carolina has put into this. And we thank our
supporters for keeping the faith.”

Now that the air quality permit has been issued, Carolinas Cement plans
to proceed with completing the federal Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) needed to obtain necessary wetlands permits. The EIS is an 18-24
month process led by the US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and requires
Carolinas Cement to hire an independent third party to conduct studies
of potential impact to numerous ecological and social factors, such as
water, aquifers, traffic and flora and fauna.

Parallel to the COE permitting process, Titan America will begin a
two-year process to design and engineer the new plant. The design
process could not begin prior to the issuance of the air permit, as the
design must correspond to the exact standards outlined by the air
permit. The new plant will pioneer the industry’s most advanced emission
control technologies to ensure that public health, the aquifers, the
Cape Fear River and Island Creek are protected throughout every step of
this process.

According to Carolinas Cement General Manager, Bob Odom, when the plant
is fully operating the estimated annual fiscal impact to New Hanover
County will exceed $ 120 million. Carolinas Cement will create 161
permanent, full-time jobs and 1,000 construction jobs during its
two-year construction phase.

Carolinas Cement Company is a subsidiary of Titan America LLC. Titan
America LLC, headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, is the premier heavy
building materials producer in the eastern United States. Titan America
operations include cement plants, ready-mixed concrete plants, concrete
block plants, quarries, import and rail terminals and fly ash
beneficiation facilities. For more information about Carolinas Cement,

Braintree Printing Receives Kudos from Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office…

Braintree, MA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

Braintree Printing, a full-service digital printing and offset printing company serving printers and print brokers throughout the Northeast, received kudos from Norfolk County Sheriff Michael Bellotti for the company’s recycling efforts.

In a January 2012 letter to owner Jim Corliss, Sheriff Bellotti congratulated Braintree Printing and said the Braintree, MA printing company has “helped the environment and set an example for other small businesses to follow.”

Speaking on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Sheriff Bellotti said the steps Braintree Printing has taken to reduce printing waste and increase recycling are to be commended. “These are the kind of proactive measures that make our communities such great places to live and work,” he said.

In 2008, Braintree Printing partnered with EOMS Recycling of West Bridgewater. EOMS conducted an extensive waste audit and identified recyclables and recommended collection methods. After implementing the suggestions, Braintree Printing reduced its trash considerably, generating an average of 15 tons of recyclable material every month.

Braintree Printing’s purchase of a 35-yard compactor unit with a hydraulic tipper made recycling simple and lucrative, eliminating employee back strain and decreasing EOMS collection costs. In 2011, EOMS rewarded Braintree Printing’s increased recycling with a financial rebate.

“We all know recycling is good for the environment,” said Bob Boucher of EOMS. “Now companies like Braintree Printing are discovering that recycling done right can be financially rewarding too.”

Braintree Printing owner Corliss said his company promotes environmental sustainability within his plant and the printing industry. A certified printer in the Forest Stewardship Council’s chain-of-command program, ”Braintree Printing uses FSC certified paper to print materials and recycled cardboard boxes to package them,” he said.

The company purchases eco-friendly equipment such as the HP Designjet L25500 which operates with water-based inks and no pollutants. An energy audit by Braintree Electric Light Department resulted in energy-efficient LED lighting throughout Braintree Printing’s 17,000 square foot plant and shaved 3% of its annual electric bill.

About Braintree Printing

Braintree Printing provides offset printing and digital printing for printers and print brokers throughout the Northeast. Owned by Jim Corliss, Jerry Hogan and Jose Tafur, the 28-year-old company specializes in high-end, 4 and 5 color offset printing and digital printing, book printing, and various types of bindery and finishing. With $ 5.97 million in annual sales, Braintree Printing ranked 28th nationwide and was the highest ranking Massachusetts printer on Quick Printing Magazine’s 2011 Top 100 List. Braintree Printing operates in a 17,000 square ft plant on Wood Road in Braintree, MA.

S+H Construction Receives LEED-Certification on Residential Project in Cambridge

CAMBRIDGE, MA–(Marketwire – Jan 26, 2012) – S+H Construction, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, one of the greater Boston area’s premier residential renovation and custom home building companies, is pleased to announce a recently completed residential project in Cambridge received LEED-certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for achievement in green homebuilding and design.

The 6,435 square foot home, built by S+H Construction and designed by AndersonPorterDesign, took approximately six months to design and two years to construct. It incorporates durable construction details, sustainable landscaping, water-efficient plumbing fixtures, recycled materials, and enhanced indoor air quality features including HEPA filters, a heat-recovery ventilation system and Energy Star rated ventilation fans. It also includes the infrastructure to add solar voltaic panels in the future.

The project achieves a 61 HERS (home energy rating system) index score, meaning it is nearly 40% more energy efficient than a home designed to building code requirements. Helping to achieve this level was the use of Icynene foam insulation for the exterior walls and the roof and high efficiency and renewable energy measures such as a ground source heating and cooling system and a rooftop solar hot water heating system.

“This LEED-certified home serves as a model of greener living for the entire community, setting an example that we can live better by reducing our environmental footprint and cutting utility bills,” notes S+H Construction co-president Doug Hanna. “Our company is committed to offering the latest energy efficient options that carry the greatest long term benefits and savings.”

“The design and construction of an energy retrofit project like this renovation requires careful attention to detail and a well-coordinated team in order to successfully achieve LEED-certification,” states Daniel Anderson, AndersonPorterDesign partner. “I appreciated the skill and expertise brought to the project by S+H and am pleased that together we were able to meet the program’s stringent requirements. This project is significant in being only the 6th gut-rehab project to achieve LEED for Homes certification in Massachusetts.”
