Wow! I am so excited to share with you all that the ETCA has received a $75,000 grant from the Appalachian Region Commission! This grant will focus on furthering the manufacturing of solar panels in Columbia, KY, and purchasing a biodiesel plant that will produce fuel for Columbia's garbage trucks! I am in the process now of requesting community members' participation in the new Columbia Community Energy Plan Leadership Team. Already receiving email responses...gotta go! More to follow...
