able to make sound investments leading to real savings in monthly
operating expenses.
New Technology

new energy and environmental technologies by helping prepare and
review proposals, finding new markets and opportunities, and identifying
potential funding sources and partners.
Pollution
Prevention Assistance
Pollution is a drain to a firm's bottom line. Whether it's air
emissions, solid or hazardous wastes, or wastewater discharges,

their efficiency and save money.

new inexpensive sources of raw materials.

information to keep the small business community informed about
