FREE Missouri VW Settlement Funding Workshop

KANSAS CITY, MO (August 12, 2019) — The next round of funding from the Missouri VW Settlement is now open and the state is accepting grant applications in two categories. The Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) wants to help your company or municipality apply for this outstanding funding opportunity. A free workshop will be held Friday, August 16th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Project Living Proof, 917 Cleaver II Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri.

County and city governments are invited to apply to repower or replace Class 4-8 diesel trucks and can receive up to 75% of associated costs. Private- and public-sector bus fleets are also encouraged to apply for funding to replace or repower diesel transit and shuttle buses. Reimbursement will range from 25-75%, depending on ownership and replacement.

The MEC and Missouri Department of Natural Resources staff will be on hand to help your department or business learn the essentials of the program, answer your questions, and explain why propane autogas fleets applying from Jackson, Clay and Platte Counties will have a special advantage when applying for government truck funding.
