Grants funded by Casey-backed Inflation Reduction Act
112 projects across the Commonwealth are receiving more than $24.1 million from USDA
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) secured a total of $24,116,492 in federal funds to lower energy costs for farmers and small businesses and expand access to clean energy, while creating jobs in rural communities. The 112 awards will help small businesses and farms across the Commonwealth implement cost-saving, clean, efficient energy systems on their properties. The funding comes from the U.S Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Energy for America (REAP) program, created by the Inflation Reduction Act, which Senator Casey fought to pass.
“Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, we are delivering game-changing investments to the Commonwealth that will lower costs for farmers and small businesses, create good paying jobs, and protect our environment for generations to come,” said Senator Casey. “I will always fight for investments that support our Commonwealth’s farmers and small businesses and bring down energy cost for Pennsylvanians.”
