School energy program gets $9 million boost

A partnership including the University of Louisville's Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center will receive federal stimulus money totaling more than $9 million to expand a school energy improvement program, Gov. Steve Beshear announced Feb. 9.
UofL President James Ramsey and KPPC Director Cam Metcalf joined Beshear in announcing the partnership in a news conference at Shepherdsville's Roby Elementary School.
Besides KPPC, the partners are the state Department for Energy Development and Independence and the Kentucky School Boards Association.
