Northwest gets its first renewable energy institute

The Northwest’s first renewable energy institute opened last week in Vancouver.

Arch Miller’s NW Renewable Energy Institute opened to a capacity of 50 students who will spend the next six months becoming wind technology technicians.

The Institute is part of Miller’s International Air and Hospitality Academy.

Vancouver Working Group to conclude its work

The Vancouver Working Group (VWG) is expected to conclude its work at a final meeting to be held on July 23. At the meeting, the VWG will make recommendations on light-rail station locations and park and ride locations and size.

The 22 members were invited by CRC earlier this year to assist with light-rail design and begin discussions on the options to connect rail through downtown Vancouver to Clark College.

The VWG recommended a light-rail route and discussed station and park and ride locations. The recommended route has trains traveling north on Broadway Street and south on Washington Street. Trains would then travel east/west on McLoughlin Boulevard. The terminus station would be located at a park and ride near Clark College and the Marshall/Luepke Center.

As a part of the CRC project, light rail will be extended from the Expo Station in Portland, across Hayden Island, to Vancouver. In downtown Vancouver, the MAX yellow line would touch down from the replacement bridge onto Washington at 5th Street. Summaries and materials from the group meetings can be found online.
