Indianapolis — Lt. Governor Becky Skillman announced 46 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants have been awarded to 37 Indiana cities, towns and counties for energy efficiency upgrades to public facilities.

A total of $3.35 million was awarded for upgrades including LED traffic light conversion, building lighting upgrades and non-lighting building retrofits. The communities were selected for the grants through a competitive bid process.

“These communities have stepped up and are leading by example by making sure public buildings and facilities are not wasting taxpayer dollars through inefficiency,” said Lt. Governor Becky Skillman. “Grants such as these help Hoosier counties, cities and towns to be good stewards of public facilities by reducing energy consumption.”

The program is funded through the U.S. Department of Energy and administered in Indiana by the Indiana Office of Energy Development. Cities and towns with fewer than 35,000 in population, and counties with populations of 200,000 or fewer were eligible to apply.
