DE Green for Green Update – 9/15/2011
New Rebate Applications are suspended at this time.
Congratulations to the more than 200 new homeowners who are enrolled in the DE Green for Green New Homes Rebate Program! This program has exceeded all our expectations with its simplicity and success! With this tremendous popularity and success come unexpected challenges, so the DE Green for Green Rebate Program is suspending all new rebate applications at this time while the program is evaluated and continued funding sources can be secured.
With more than 200 new homes built in DE using this incentive program, the construction activity accounts for nearly 10% of all homes being built in DE, creating more than 900 jobs and more than $81 million dollars in revenue for the local economy, according to "The Impact of Housing on the Local Economy” 2009 study by Dr. Elliott Eisenberg.
With this success in jobs and revenue creation, this program is a shining star and should be easily reviewed for continuation in a reasonable time period. During this suspension, the HBADE appreciates your patience and will keep you informed of all developments as we work diligently daily for a timely resolution.
Jennifer Casey
Executive Vice President
