–From the Herald-Citizen–
PUTNAM COUNTY — Putnam County is hoping to find money in the recent economic stimulus to help upgrade several county buildings to make them more energy efficient. County Executive Kim Blaylock told the land and facilities committee recently, “There is grant money available through the stimulus for energy projects. I think we need to move forward if at all possible.”
Putnam County spends $458,000 per year in utilities. An energy audit by Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. estimates changes in the lighting systems and possible upgrades to mechanical systems could save the county $81,901 each year. See the full article in the Citizen Herald here.
