Georgia Colleges Get $27M in Stimulus Funding

Georgia colleges are getting more than $27 million in federal stimulus money for energy and conservation projects.

The projects range from installing control systems to gauge how energy is being used in a building to upgrading the heating and air conditioning systems to make them more efficient.

More than 25 of the state's colleges and universities received federal funding for energy conservation from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Projects include a $1.7 million program to upgrade lighting at Columbus State University and $2.5 million for Georgia Tech for mechanical upgrades.
