Green Eco-Friendly Housing in Cleveland and North Central Ohio - Where do we go next?

I've been following "green" housing for longer than it has been popular, and this project caught my attention while I was following some of my links.  I've copied the following text from their website at www.houze.com.  

HOUZE® is developing and building zero-energy, affordable homes in the historic neighborhood of Independence Heights in a public-private partnership with the City of Houston. Independence Heights was the first African American municipality in Texas. Today, HOUZE is working with community leaders to shape the next 100 years.

The HOUZE project is the first of its kind in America, introducing affordable homes that produce significantly more electricity than they use through the utilization of natural gas co-generation Power Cells. The initiative supports current programs from U.S. Housing & Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Energy.

The HOUZE Net-Positive Energy Initiative was recently showcased at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas in partnership with the American Gas Association (AGA) and AT&T Digital Life. AGA member companies service more than 64 million homes.

This seems like a fantastic project for our region, particularly for urban revitalization projects in some of our older neighborhoods.  The template is a private/public partnership.  We have some developers doing fantastic things, but there is always room for more - and projects like this give us the opportunity to explore other options and partnerships.
