A goal of the AES EECBG Energy Audit Grant project is to provide free, comprehensive audits for government-owned facilities that can realize the greatest savings from energy conservation, and that are best prepared to implement recommendations from the free audits.
“This grant is a perfect fit with the priority of our County Board of Commissioners and their Green Team to promote county-wide energy efficiency and conservation,” said Tom Kaminski, Manistee County Administrator. “The future of our County depends in no small measure on how well we lead in improving efficiency and reducing waste. This grant will be a catalyst to achieve important energy savings and waste reduction throughout Manistee County.”
