In the mean time money available for energy efficiency grants will be gone before Hawaii County approves the new code.Can we thank Emily for this too??
This article from a paper in Ohio tells the story of a very small very poor county that is light years ahead of Hawaii County in taking advantage of stimulus money.Also when I was there last summer there were paving projects and road rebuilding projects going on all over the county.We are going to get a few truck loads of gravel.
Additional stimulus dollars are heading to Carroll County.
County Commissioners announced Monday the county has been awarded an Energy Efficiency Grant for $542,000. The funds are from the American Investment and Recovery Act (stimulus dollars). The county previously received $1.6 million in stimulus funding to build a new building for Carroll County Transit.
Julie Smith from Ohio Regional Development Corp., the firm that wrote the grant for the county, said they learned late last week the county received the grant by way of the stimulus grant website.
The application calls for upgrading the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems at the county courthouse and Golden Age Retreat, replacement of lights and windows in the courthouse and the pointing of bricks on the outside of the Golden Age Retreat.
The Golden Age Retreat is a county funded home for the elderly.
