The OED will give the Community Conservation Challenge Grant for just under $60,000, according to a release from the City of Bloomington.
The City will use the funds to change lights in the Walnut Street Garage and Miller-Showers Park to super-efficient LEDs. The Monroe County ?Community School Corporation will install lighting controls, such as motion sensors, at Bloomington High School South, according to the release.
“Installing these in classrooms will encourage our students and faculty to become more energy-conscious,” Jason Bletzinger, assistant superintendent of the Richland-Bean Blossom School Corporation, said.
The projects funded by the grant are expected to pay for themselves in just over three years.
