Energy - how to save it and how to generate it - will be the topic of a workshop on July 22 in North Bend.
Coos County homeowners and business owners can learn how to earn cash incentives for
energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy projects.
The workshop is set from 7 to 9 p.m. at the North Bend Community Center, 2222 Broadway Ave.
