The county’s application for a grant to replace roofs at two area community centers has been denied.
County Mayor Tim Stribling informed the county commission Monday night that plans were for the county to use the Tennessee Clean Energy Grant to replace roofs at the Snow Hill and Silver Point area Community Centers.
“We did a resolution a few months ago for the roof at the Snow Hill Community Center and for the roof at the Silver Point Community Center,” said Stribling.
“We received the following letter. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s office of sustainable practices has reviewed your Clean Energy Grant proposal. This year our funding request exceeded our budget by $6.2 million and we were not able to fund every proposal we received. The staff carefully evaluated each proposal and unfortunately we were not able to fund your project at this time.”
“We’ll put these two projects out for bid and get a price on what it will cost to replace the roofs at Snow Hill and Silver Point,” Stribling concluded.
