Albemarle County giving up to $100k in grants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - For the second year in a row, Albemarle County is giving out grants to community groups and organizations working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The grant program is part of the County’s Climate Action Plan, adopted in 2020 by the Board of Supervisors.

The money is for projects that help advance the county’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030.

The county is giving out up to $100,000 in grants.

”What a program like this does is it seeds different ideas and provides support to different ideas that maybe folks haven’t thought about before,” Albemarle County Climate Protection Project Manager Jamie Powers said.

Each grant will range from $5,000 to $25,000.

Applications are due June 7.
