Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant

Over $2.7 billion in formula grants are now available to U.S. states, territories, local governments under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. The City of Parma is one of these entities, with over $700,000 available. The Block Grant was funded for the first time under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This Program provides funds to units of local and state government, Indian tribes, and territories to develop and implement projects to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions in their communities. The Program is administered by the Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs (WIP) in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Now we want to hear from you!

The City of Parma will be rolling out various energy efficiency programs to help residents and businesses in our community lower their energy use. Your responses will help us design programs that are tailored to your specific needs.

The time to respond to the surveys has lapsed, but we appreciate all the feedback we received. A copy of the presentation presented during the Wednesday, February 10, 2010 public meeting is available below. The document includes the survey results.
