A public information meeting on Enterprise School District’s conversion from oil to a woody biomass heating system and similar opportunities is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, in the Smart Board Room in the middle school building.

The meeting is being hosted by the Enterprise district, biomass project contractor McKinstry Essention and Wallowa Resources.

The primary speaker, Cameron Hamilton, business development manager of McKinstry Essention, will explain the ongoing school project, the cost, the energy savings, the energy savings guarantee and the fuel supply. Information will also be provided on air emissions and carbon savings.

Wallowa School District is also pursuing the biomass heating options.
