Sustain Evanston outlines small-business grants for composting and energy upgrades
Summary
A short promotional segment for the Sustain Evanston program described eligible small-business applicants and project types, including compost pickup and building energy-efficiency upgrades; the segment directed business owners to sustainevanston.com for consultations.
Evanston’s Sustain Evanston program described eligible projects and applicants for a small-business grant opportunity during a brief promotional segment.
The segment said the grants are for “small Evanston-based businesses with fewer than 10 locations,” and listed eligible project types including compost pickup services and building energy-efficiency measures such as improved insulation, new windows and doors, HVAC systems and heat pumps. “Every project funded will save business owners money and result in progress towards our climate goals,” Speaker 1, a staff member, said in the segment.
Program details aired in a Jeopardy!-style presentation that named composting as an eligible service and said energy-efficiency work could take the form of “new windows, doors, HVAC systems, heat pumps, and many others.” The transcript also contains a reference to "$25,000" but does not specify whether that figure is a maximum grant award, total program budget, or another metric; the segment does not include other funding details.
The segment ended by directing interested businesses to sustainevanston.com and advising them to schedule a consultation with program staff. Speaker 2, a staff member, asked rhetorically about eligible projects during the presentation but did not state additional application deadlines or funding limits on the recording.
No formal actions, votes, ordinances or statutory references were included in the recording.
