Wabash County Commissioners have approved moving forward with applying for an Energy Transition Community Grant administered through the State of Illinois. Jeff Vaughn of the Greater Wabash Regional Planning Commissioner was at Monday’s county board meeting to explain the grant to assist communities who face losing a coal mine or power plant…
Vaughn said other entities can attach themselves to the Wabash County application to perhaps receive funding. Vaughn seemed confident Wabash County would at least receive the minimum grant of $50,000, which can be used for most anything the county chooses. But, he said the grant could end up being much more…
Vaughn will be working with county treasurer Angela Broster to put the necessary reports together to submit the grant application before the June 30th deadline. If approved, Wabash County would have the chance to receive the grant for up to 6 years in a row.
