A rural Logan County school district is seeking to take advantage an energy grant that would help save on their energy costs.

Jason Spang is the Superintendent of Mt. Pulaski Schools and indicates the grant is through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. There are a couple of ways a school can qualify for the funding.

According to Spang, the grant is not competitive so they can submit the information required and be reimbursed.

The district plans to use the funds for several summer projects. Among them is the Veterans Park renovation, which includes upgrades to the baseball and football fields, and a new bus barn construction. However, the grant isn’t a one-time award—Spang noted the district will need to reapply periodically to continue receiving support. He says they will submit the information and see what they get.
