[RE-wrenches] Hotel Exclusion?

[Matt Lafferty]

For anyone who might be interested...
 
It appears that hotels and motels run as busninesses are eligible for the
1603 grant. Below is the response from Treasury to my inquiry on the matter.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt Lafferty

Matt Lafferty-- Thank you for your email question. Page 2 of the Program
Guidance at  <outbind://8/www.treas.gov/recovery/1603.shtml>
www.treas.gov/recovery/1603.shtml indicates that qualified renewable energy
property is eligible to be placed in service at locations used in a trade or
business or held for the production of income. Hotels and motels would seem
to fit as a business.

Hi,

Are hotels and motels eligible for the 1603 Grant? The business is a
privately held corporation.

Thanks!

Marketeers,
 
A question was raised yesterday on the RE-Wrenches list about whether or not
hotels are eligible for the Federal Grant for the installation of solar. As
it turns out, my wife is currently working with a family-owned, non-tribal,
motel to design PV and Solar Thermal systems. Neither she nor I were aware
of any exclusions which would apply to this type of business. 
 
Can anyone here shed any light on this? If they are not eligible, a pointer
to the applicable section would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
 
I was bidding a job for a hotel down the shore here in South Jersey and when
the owner called a competitor for a second bid, he was told that hotels were
excluded from the Federal tax grant. Has anyone heard of this or better yet
has anyone completed a hotel this year? Thanks.
