Garfield County partners win
$1.6 million clean energy grant award
On Oct. 14, 2008, Gov. Bill Ritter awarded a $1.6 million grant to a partnership of local governments and nonprofits in Garfield County as part of the state’s New Energy Communities Initiative.
The proposal offers programs over the next two years to boost energy efficiency in new and existing public buildings and install solar photovoltaic arrays in every community as part of a Garfield 1 Megawatt campaign. It also includes energy efficiency and renewable energy programs for homes and small businesses, code work aimed at improving the energy efficiency of new homes and neighborhoods, development of clean energy financing, and measures to track energy savings.
The Garfield partners are CLEER, Parachute, Rifle, Silt, New Castle, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Garfield County, the Garfield County Public Library District and the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority.
Other participating entities include Roaring Fork School District, Garfield Re-2 School District, Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association, Holy Cross Energy, Xcel Energy, Solar Energy International, Rifle Downtown Development Authority, Rifle Lodging Tax Board, Sustainability Center of the Rockies, Sonoran Institute and Manaus Fund.
Together, the partners and collaborators pledged $506,000 in local cash match and more than $1.2 million in in-kind match for 2009. As part of the proposal, $250,000 was proposed as seed funding for a clean energy investment fund.
