Reap energy efficiency improvement (EEI) grant unrestricted amount

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services awarded Wooster Hydrostatics, Inc. a $121,467 Project Grant under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) on September 1, 2023. This funding will enable Wooster Hydrostatics, a for-profit hydraulic repair and remanufacturing facility, to provide repair and replacement services for hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and related equipment used in heavy machinery and construction. The REAP program provides grants to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems. Wooster Hydrostatics' grant-funded activities will likely support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' civil works responsibilities concerning flood protection and water resource management, as the company has previously received awards to repair crane cylinders and other hydraulic components for the Corps' Heavy Capacity Fleet.
