Michigan GREEN Awarded MPSC Grant for Delta County Green Community Partnership
The Michigan Public Service Commission announced that a $50,000 grant has been awarded to Michigan GREEN to help fund a green community partnership to encourage community-based renewable energy and energy efficiency programs. Michigan GREEN (Group for a Renewable Energy Efficient Nation), a nationally-focused nonprofit organization in Escanaba, will use the grant funds to provide FREE energy audits to small businesses in Delta County.
The community partnership, named Delta GREEN, began operations on July 1 but will officially kick off on August 6 at the Small Business Energy Conservation Symposium being held at the Escanaba City Hall. The emphasis of the event will be helping Delta County businesses save money by becoming more energy efficient, according to Doug Russell, Michigan GREEN Executive Director. A brochure and registration information can be found at the City of Escanaba website, www.escanaba.org.
