West Virginia Gets Funding To Make Homes More Energy Efficient
WEST VIRGINIA....
The U.S. Energy Department has approved more than $500,000 to help low-income West Virginia residents make their homes more energy efficient. The new round of funding will build on weatherization efforts that already have helped the owners of more than 1,600 West Virginia homes add insulation, upgrade appliances and improve heating and cooling systems. According to the Energy Department, the weatherization program has created more than 150 jobs in West Virginia. The agency handles federal funds that are distributed to community action agencies for weatherizing homes, literacy programs and help for the elderly, among other things.
