It is the Perseid Meteor Shower and there is no better place to view it in our neck of the woods than the Walden Airport. Get a guided tour of the night sky from local astronomers and view the skies through telescopes. A free event courtesy Ranges and Rivers and the Jackson County Outdoor Education Network!  See you Friday August 13, 7:30pm-10:00pm. Dark skies reduce energy consumption and increase star gazing opportunities!

Energy Audit Equipment

Posted Tue, 06/08/2010 - 6:44pm by Liz McIntyre

On June 1,  BEDA submitted a $9400 grant request for energy audit  equipment to the Governor’s Energy Office .

The equipment is for residential and small commercial energy audits in Grand and Jackson Counties. If the application is successful, BEDA will make the equipment available to certified contractors and establish guidelines for its use.
