The County of Halifax has received Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Program Funds to design, install, and monitor a comprehensive energy conservation program for the Mary Bethune Government Complex in the Town of Halifax. This project is being funded with federal funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, supported by the Department of Energy and the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy.

The total project cost will be approximately $800,000. Pre-qualified Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) were solicited for “Back of the Envelope Proposals” pursuant to §11-34.3 Code of Virginia as amended. Proposals were due 12/10/10. Construction will hopefully begin by March 2011.
