SUMMARY:Dino Adventures
DESCRIPTION:New for 2024\, something BIG is coming to John Ball Zoo! That roar you hear in the distance may sound a little different than the Lion or Tiger you normally hear during your visit. It’s a dinosaur! Starting in July\, over 20 life-size dinosaurs will make their way to the Zoo’s Forest Realm during Dino Adventures. Hiding in the forest\, guests may encounter a Velociraptor\, a Triceratops\, and even a T-Rex! These large and scientifically accurate animatronic dinosaurs will display real behaviors\, such as mothering\, feeding\, preying\, and more. Interactive elements like a fossil dig pit and T-Rex photo op will engage guests by providing a hands-on experience.   \nJoin as we journey through the ages\, uncovering how the traits of prehistoric dinosaurs have influenced the animals we see today. Through this interactive exhibit we’ll come together to celebrate our living world and the significance of conservation. During Dino Adventures\, John Ball Zoo will aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world\, its history\, and the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect both living species and those yet to come. The Zoo will be transformed with life sized dinosaur replica robots that make noise and move. Guests can embark on a dino safari through the Zoo’s Forest Realm and learn about the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth.

SUMMARY:Local First Webinar: How to Stack IRA\, ITC and Utility Incentives to Help Your Small Business
DESCRIPTION:This informative webinar will highlight the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)\, and utility incentives aimed at fostering energy efficiency and clean energy. These incentives\, including the updated 179D deduction and the 45L Energy Efficient Home Credit\, offer significant tax credits for energy-saving renovations and new construction projects. The ITC provides a 30% tax credit for solar installations\, with additional perks for meeting specific criteria. For small businesses\, these incentives present a valuable opportunity to reduce operational costs\, enhance sustainability\, and invest in energy-efficient solutions that improve long-term profitability. By combining these IRA and ITC tax credits with utility energy efficiency incentives\, small businesses can make energy efficiency projects very cost effective\, allowing them to achieve substantial operational cost savings\, long-term profitability and competitiveness in the market. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights\, clarifications\, and next steps from the experts at Catalyst Partners. \nAbout Catalyst Partners: \nFor the last 20 years\, Catalyst Partners has been assembling a team of trusted industry leaders who share a common passion: to create positive environmental impact\, one project at a time.
