A grant may help answer the question of whether the City of Findlay should be using alternative fuels, hometownstations.com reports. Clean Fuels Ohio approached the city about applying for “a $50,000 state grant to look at the costs and benefits of using alternative energy, primarily compressed natural gas,” according to the article. Findlay’s Safety Service Director Paul Schmelzer said he “can’t answer that question at this point” and if grant funds allow the city to explore it, then “we can tell those constituents that are asking the question . . . what does this look like for us, we’ll have some data to back up the answer.” Schmelzer says if the city does receive the grant, analysis should “be complete by the middle of 2017.” The grant would not obligate the city to implement any recommendations.
