The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority (TLCPA) will receive $15 million in federal funding, through the U.S. Department of Energy's BetterBuildings initiative, to begin the Advanced Energy Utility District Project (AUE). The project will deliver "energy efficiency improvements to residential, commercial, industrial, and government buildings through community involvement, public awareness, and outreach," according to a press release from the department.
Additionally, the AUE has partnered with the Northwest Ohio Bond Fund to "issue up to $50 million in loans to home and business owners for the purpose of financing their improvement projects," the release said.
