Office of Energy Security & Community Action Partnerships Receive Federal Recognition for Weatherization Program

The Office of Energy Security, Minnesota Department of Commerce and the Community Action Partnerships received an award from the U.S. Department of Energy last week recognizing them for putting stimulus dollars for Minnesota’s weatherization program to good work.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included $132 million in weatherization assistance funds. The state Legislature has also appropriated nearly $16 million for the current fiscal year.

So far, nearly 1,400 homes have been weatherized in Minnesota using the federal stimulus funds, and another 2,300 homes are expected to be weatherized with the funds.
