Funding has been awarded to support local climate efforts. A regional group including Aspen will receive money to promote energy efficiency and reduce reliance on certain fuels. This award is one of several given to communities across the state.

The amount awarded to the local group is just over $4 million. This is part of a larger initiative to help communities achieve their climate goals. Further details about the award and how the funds will be used are available from the Colorado Energy Office.

The local group includes several nearby towns and counties, with Aspen taking a lead role in the application process.
