The federal Project Grant award of $152,600.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (CFDA 10.868). The grant funding will support Mcnaughton Bros., Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, in implementing a renewable energy system project. The 24-month project period runs from July 2024 to July 2026 and is intended to help the rural small business reduce energy costs, enhance energy efficiency, and expand the use of renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, or geothermal systems. The REAP program aims to promote sustainable energy practices and provide financial assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for renewable energy and energy efficiency improvement projects.
