On Thursday, September 9, 2010, Councilwoman Doreen Carter will host a community forum at 2474 Bruce Street Lithonia, Georgia 30058, where Rev. C. André Grier is the Sr. Pastor. The Community Forum will focus on a discussion of the Biomass Plant being built by Green Energy Partners-DeKalb, LLC. The company has received a 20 year contract from DeKalb County to obtain their yard waste that will be converted into electricity by using gasification technology. This is a non-emission process that is environmentally friendly thereby producing green energy. The agreement between Green Energy Partners and DeKalb County is expected to produce $200,000 in revenue for DeKalb County. If the plant is located inside of the city of Lithonia boundaries, it will produce an estimated 100 jobs and an increase of the tax digest of $50 million upon completion of the plant; thereby creating a much needed revenue injection for the City of Lithonia.
