Check Presented To Sullivan School District For LED Lighting Project
A check was presented to Sullivan School District #300 on Tuesday from the Illinois Municipal Electric Association in the amount of $17,993.74 as a rebate for their LED project at Sullivan Elementary School. The entire building was upgraded to LED lighting and the district should see $750 to $800 a month utility savings. The IMEA offers grant money for upgrades like this and for individuals as well.
