Posted by Jim Schuyler at 9:32 AM Press Releases | Stimulus
Washington, DC—Today, Congressman Tom Perriello announced that nearly $8.8 million will be made available to weatherize more than 1,100 homes in the 5th District, thanks to federal funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
“Investing in home weatherization is a win-win situation because families can lower their home energy costs, which helps all consumers by taking pressure off the grid. Additionally, we can train a new green jobs workforce in energy efficiency technology,” said Perriello. “These funds from the Recovery Act will create green jobs now and reduce energy costs for 1,100 homes in the 5th District.”
