$4.8 Million!!

We received the word a short time ago. The Authority will be receiving slightly more than $4,800,000. We've spent quite a bit of time figuring how to spend the money and are well on our way. The amount is quite a bit higher than expected, but my initial projection used flawed numbers from the 2008 appropriation.

We've already got engineers and architects lined up to begin working. The obligation restrictions are far more workable than I first thought, and I think there could be additional room for some energy improvements. We're also seriously thinking about a major competition for a legacy green project; namely, co-generation that reduces our power requirements and assists local institutions with their heating/hot water requirements...
