Rooftop Solar Grant

The City’s preliminary grant application to install rooftop solar on the Eden Prairie Liquor location on Den Road was approved as part of the state's Solar on Public Buildings grant program. Staff will now work on a process to solicit bids for the installation and finalize the application. This is the second Solar on Public Buildings grant the City has secured, after previously being awarded a grant for a solar installation on Fire Station #1. Each grant covers 50% of the project cost to install solar and an additional 30% of costs are covered by federal incentives.
