Blanco Tackabery Participates in Project Birthday

Posted on

“Project Birthday,” writes Judge Carrie Vickery, who is President of the Forsyth County Bar Association, “provides a birthday gift and a birthday cake to each child in foster care in Forsyth County. Law firms, solo practitioners and judges volunteer to split the months of each year and take responsibility for purchasing a small gift for each child with a birthday that month.”

The estate planning group of Blanco Tackabery is pleased to participate in Project Birthday for the month of February, 2022. The initiative was started by Lily Alexander, of the EACH Foundation, and the Forsyth County Women Attorney’s Association in 2014, and is a wonderful opportunity to impact the lives of children who are currently living in what Vickery righty calls a “stressful and out of the ordinary situation.”

New Analysis Reveals Total Economic Impact of NC Clean Energy from 2007-2020 to be $40.3 Billion

Posted on

As one of North Carolina’s leading law firms in the Renewable Energy space, we couldn’t be more excited to announce the results of RTI International’s recent report concerning North Carolina clean energy project development.

According to the NC Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA),

“RTI International conducted the report to identify associated economic impacts of clean energy development (renewable energy and energy efficiency) in North Carolina and identified that, from 2007-2020, the total economic impact from clean energy and energy efficiency project development in the state was $40.3 billion, with 17 percent of the cumulative clean energy investment over the last 14 years occurring in 2019 and 2020.”

In 2020 alone, there was an impressive $1.6 Billion dollar investment in renewable energy, up from just $26.2 Million in 2007. In addition, “several of North Carolina’s most economically-challenged counties, including Duplin, Robeson, and Halifax Counties, received the greatest amount of clean energy investment from 2007-2020,” the NCSEA website states.
