HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Edward G. Rendell today announced new state investments that will help keep Pennsylvania at the forefront of the new green economy while creating jobs, spurring private economic development, and supporting local school districts that are struggling with energy costs.
The Governor said the Commonwealth Financing Authority approved nearly $18.4 million for 31 projects throughout the state. The investments were made possible through the $650 million Alternative Energy Investment Fund, which he signed in July 2008.
"These new resources are critically important from an economic development and job-creating perspective and also for families and small businesses struggling to cope with energy prices," said Governor Rendell. "These investments will support energy conservation and efficiency, help a number of school districts save precious tax dollars on their energy bills, and spur new private investment from alternative energy companies that create jobs in a rapidly growing economic sector."
