2. Create a & 9-million "energy bank"to lend money to improve the energy efficiency of homes at low 9-to-11-percent interest rates.
3. Construct the nation’s first "energy park". The area will include only those commercial, residential, and industrial facilities that are doing something energy-related. More than & 150-million worth of commit-ments has already been lined up.
These developments did not just happen. They resulted when Mayor George Latimer asked volunteers to chart a new future for a city that is twice as cold as New York.
