NParks provides incentives for 'Sky-high' greenery

National Parks Board will fund 50 per cent of installation costs and increase prize money for Skyrise Greenery Awards.

 

Under its Skyrise Greenery Incentive Scheme, the cash incentive was initially to encourage existing buildings in Downtown and Orchard areas to install green roofs.

NParks has now expanded the scheme to other areas in Singapore, such as Rochor, Museum, Singapore River and Outram.

To help building owners undertake greening their roofs and walls, NParks will provide technical advice and an information booklet.

It will also increase the prize money for the Skyrise Greenery Awards 2011. The amount of prize money for first place will be US$8,000, up from US$5,000. The second prize is US$5,000, up from US$2,000; and the third prize will increase from US$500 to US$2,000.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
