State Sen. Lisa M. Boscola on Thursday announced a total of $1.570 million in state grant/loan funds for two alternative clean energy projects in Northampton County.
Boscola said the projects to benefit from the funds include:
$736,350 grant for Great River Energy, LLC, which is building a CNG fueling station a short distance from Interstates 78 and 80 in Easton.
She said the public fueling station will have 15 dual hose time-fill stations.
The station will be able to service passenger vehicles along with medium duty and Class 8 trucks with trailers. The total project cost is $1.8 million.
$834,338 loan for Sycamore Hill Farm Development, LP, to build high performance commercial interiors at the Flat Iron building in Bethlehem City.
The firm is building an LEED Gold neighborhood in the south side of Bethlehem.
The project involves an energy efficient boiler, 5th floor renovation, and 2nd floor retail space to one of the neighborhood development buildings.
The system includes occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting controls, and opaque window shades.
Boscola said the building will also have a rooftop garden and green roof to reduce storm runoff.
The total project cost is $1.668 million.
The Alternative and Clean Energy Program funds are administered by the state Commonwealth Financing Agency.
Boscola said in addition to advancing availability and use of clean energy alternatives, the funds will be used to strengthen businesses and create jobs in the area.
Boscola pledged to continue seeking state resources to bolster worthwhile local projects.
