Upcoming events for local governments and schools focus on energy-saving projects and financing

This summer’s heat has gotten a lot of us thinking about air conditioning – and how much it costs! Especially for local units of government and schools on ever tighter budgets, reining in these energy costs can make a big difference. The question many local decision makers ask is, “How can we pay for upgrades?” Upcoming events hosted by CERTs across Minnesota will shine the light on this question and more.

These meetings are relevant for counties, cities, municipalities, school districts, townships, municipal utilities, and other local units of government in Minnesota. All are free and open to the public. Click on a link below to see agendas and register, or register immediately using one of the ticket forms below.
