Sainato announces $25,000 state grant to ambulance service
HARRISBURG, Nov. 18 – State Rep. Chris Sainato, D-Lawrence/Beaver, announced that Noga Ambulance Service in Lawrence County has been awarded $25,000 in funding through the Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant Program.
Sainato said the funds will be used to purchase and install energy-efficient T-8 lighting to replace existing T-12 fluorescent lamps, along with high-efficiency air conditioning, doors, windows, insulation and water-saving devices.
Sainato said the Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant Program is a new state program, originating out of the Alternative Energy Investment Act of 2008, which provides a 25 percent reimbursement grant, up to a maximum of $25,000, to enable Pennsylvania small businesses to acquire certain equipment that promotes energy efficiency.
The program is open to small-business owners whose business or facility is located in Pennsylvania. Eligible applicants must be for-profit businesses that have no more than 100 employees and are a separate legal business entity at the time the application is submitted.
