Economic Recovery Resources for Cool Cities

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides an unprecedented opportunity for local governments to implement local solutions to global warming and energy challenges while creating new good, green jobs.

The Cool Cities Team has created two new forums to keep you updated on information that matters to you as a Cool Cities activist and to your local government.

Visit our forums to find out how your local government can apply for funding for renewable energy, energy efficiency, weatherization, transportation, green job training and more.

Visit our Economic Stimulus Recovery Resources forum at: Economic Stimulus Recovery Resources

We'll also be highlighting step by step information for the specific funding opportunities of ARRA that provide resources for local governments.

One of the best opportunities for local governments to receive flexible funding for energy efficiency and energy conservation projects is the $3.2 billion in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program through DOE.
