July 20, 2009 - The Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (DELEG), Bureau of Energy Systems will conduct a local government workshop today to discuss the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 (ARRA). This workshop is for representatives of non-entitlement cities and townships, which are those with a population of less than 35,000 according to the 2007 census, and non-entitlement counties, which are the counties other than Genesee, Jackson, Kent, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Ottawa, St. Clair, Washtenaw or Wayne. For non-entitlement governments that cannot attend the workshop, the state will hold a one-time webcast with the same agenda, but with briefer coverage.
The workshop and webcast will inform participants of $17.4 million in EECBG funding opportunities, program objectives, application process and timelines and will offer an opportunity for questions and answers. Event co-sponsors are the Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan Townships Association, Northwest Michigan Council of Governments, Northeast Michigan Council of Governments and Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.
