Panel to vote on $4M in ARPA spending

Evanston Now | June 20, 2022

A collaboration of three non-profits — the Center for Neighborhood Technology, Elevate and the Evanston Development Cooperative — is seeking $1 million to launch a pilot program to provide a “One Stop Shop” for energy efficiency retrofits for up to 50 homes in three low-income census tracts in the city over the next two years.

The city has received letters supporting that project from the League of Women Voters, Environmental Justice Evanston, Latinos en Evanston NorthShore and Connections for the Homeless.
