Through a partnership with the Green Jobs Alliance, York County’s Economic Development Authority is offering grants to homeowners who want to make their houses more energy efficient.

To qualify for the funding, the work must be done by a contractor who is enrolled in the Better Buildings Grant NEXT STEP Program. To help York County contractors become eligible, the county will host a free enrollment workshop for all interested contractors on April 14 from noon to 2 p.m. in the county’s Environmental and Development Services building at 105 Service Drive in Yorktown.

At this workshop, contractors will learn about training opportunities and incentives offered by the program. Leslie Holthoff with the Green Jobs Alliance will also be on-hand to answer questions. Lunch will be provided to attendees, courtesy of the York County Economic Development Authority.

For more information, contact Leslie Holthoff at 757-251-9523, extension 4, or visit the Green Jobs Alliance website.
