Stimulus money coming this way for energy projects
Posted by Rhiannon Fionn-Bowman on Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Unfortunately, there's no word on what the state and local government will do with the money; hopefully they'll use it to create a few jobs.
Charlotte will get $6.7 million in federal money to spend on energy-efficiency projects, the Obama administration said this morning.The money is part of $58 million for such work that will flow to North Carolina under the recently-passed economic stimulus package. The administration says energy-efficiency projects can create new jobs.
Today's announcement says North Carolina's State Energy Office will get nearly $21 million in new money and Mecklenburg County about $650,000, in addition to the Charlotte funding. It's not immediately clear how the city and county will use the money.
