KANSAS CITY — Missouri will get about $12.5 million in stimulus money for energy efficiency and conservation projects.
The Department of Energy said Monday the block grant will go toward energy efficiency projects and programs and to public education and outreach programs on energy building codes.
The Missouri package is part of $354 million in funding the DOE announced for 22 states.
The DOE said the Missouri grant will be administered by the state Department of Natural Resources and is expected to create more than 100 jobs.
