Several groups are working together to help Lima create an Energy Special Improvement District (ESID) so businesses can get help funding “utility and energy efficiency improvements,” The Lima News reports. Lima City Council “will vote on approving” the ESID recently created “under the lead of the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce,” according to the article.
