Umpqua Bank has expanded its GreenStreet consumer lending program to help homes in Southwest Washington become more energy-efficient.
The program, which was launched in Oregon in late 2008, provides consumers with financing to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
“Investment in energy efficient homes protects natural resources and encourages the kind of innovation that spurs economic growth and recovery,” said Rick Calero, executive vice president of community banking for Umpqua Bank. “Umpqua Bank’s GreenStreet Lending program aligns with our commitment to invest in the communities and economies we serve by giving residents access to smart, affordable financing for energy-saving improvements and solar power.”
