Dear Board Members:
As requested, here is a short summary of events of the EECBG Grant and Revolving Loan Fund (Future CDFI).
?
On December 14, 2009 an application was submitted to the U. S. Department of Energy for an Energy Efficient and
Conservation Block Grant (EECBR) in the amount of $5.0 million. The funds for this grant are part of an allocation
in the amount of $3.2 billion authorized by the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
?
On July 22, 2010, the Articles of Incorporation were submitted and approved by the Florida Secretary of State to
form a non-profit organization with the purpose to provide loans to finance energy efficient and conservation
improvements.
?
On August 12, 2010 the county was awarded $2,941,500 in grant funds to establish a loan fund to provide financing
for energy efficient and conservation improvements to homes and businesses in St. Lucie County and the
surrounding areas.
?
On August 13, 2010, the Board of Directors met formally for the first time to adopt the By-Laws of the Corporation
