The Oregon Sustainability Center costs $65 million of public funds (bonds, property taxes) and exceeds 20% of the price of an average building. It includes 60,000 square feet of solar panels, a 200,000-gallon cistern bucket to collect rainwater, and a 200-foot underground geothermal well. Taxpayers foot the bill by $240,000 if it fails to get renters.
