Letter: Opportunity for Adair Co., KY, with Net Energy Design

Wendy Butler Burt sent the following news release of September 15, 2009, asking, "An opportunity for Adair Co., KY:
KENTUCKY - $10,427,000 awarded:

The State of Kentucky is receiving Recovery Act EECBG funding to improve energy efficiency and promote the use of renewable energy across the state's economic sectors. These projects will lead to substantial energy and cost savings, and create or retain more than 50 jobs statewide. EECBG funding will be administered by Kentucky's Energy and Environment Cabinet, in partnership with the Department of Local Government. Local cities and counties will be selected for energy efficiency or renewable energy project funding through a competitive solicitation.

The state will put funding toward the establishment of the Kentucky Net-Zero Energy Schools Program, which will provide funding to one or more schools to install photovoltaic systems sufficient to bring the schools to net-zero (or near net-zero) energy use. Kentucky will use its remaining EECBG funds to develop an education and training program for local and state building code enforcement officers.
Burt is back, with her husband Bob Burt, to her childhood home country near Inroad, in Southern Adair County. She operates an energy consulting firm, Crocus Mill Associates, from the Adair County.
