South Carolina's 85 school districts will share $20.3 million in federal stimulus grants and loans to make immediate improvements to building energy and lighting systems, the State Budget and Control Board announced Thursday. Districts are getting nearly half of the $45.7 million in stimulus funds being distributed by the South Carolina Energy Office to help pay for energy conservation efforts by schools, higher education institutions, local governments and state agencies. The money includes $35.7 million in direct grants and $10 million in zero-interest loans to be distributed using a formula that gives top priority to large energy users and to projects ready for immediate implementation. Loan repayments will be used to launch a revolving energy loan program that will continue to support cost-saving improvements for years to come. "These grants and loans will go directly toward cutting the utility bills that taxpayers fund at each of these public facilities," said Energy Office director John Clark. "This program will have a very positive impact for both public budgets and the environment. The economic impact will also be significant because most funds will be used to buy goods and services in the private sector."
