We had a beautiful, sunny day for our groundbreaking ceremony and celebration on September 29th.  A number of speakers, including Mayor Ava Frisinger, King County Executive Ron Sims, Puget Sound Energy Vice President Cal Shirley, Port Blakely Communities President Alan Boeker, and Governor Gregoire’s senior policy analyst for climate change Kathleen Drew, shared a few words about Zhome and what the project means for the region.  This was followed by a ribbon cutting event, where we presented some of the technologies to be used in the project – PV panels, double wall construction, rainwater reuse, and ultragreen materials.  Later, we had a party on site – about a hundred folks came to share the excitement of getting this project off the ground.  It was a great day!
