City of Bowling Green rejected for $50 million grant

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The City of Bowling Green was recently rejected for a $50 million grant that would have provided a significant boost to the preservation of green space in the city and addition of different clean energy options.

The money would have been used to make city buses all electric and construct a solar energy farm that would have provided energy to residents within the city of Bowling Green.

While the rejection does sting, it does not end the city’s efforts to provide environmentally friendly energy options.

More grants are being applied for that will help Bowling Green and its ever growing population reach its goals to become more environmentally friendly.

The grant that was applied for was one of the more competitive grants around the country.

Louisville and Lexington also applied for the grant and were rejected as well.
