Loving God's Mountains - February 22, 2011 Leveling the Playing Field - February 26, 2011 Through the Greening West Louisville program we have completed energy audits with 13 area houses of worship (St. Luke's Missionary Baptist Church and 4th Avenue United Methodist Church being the most recent). Ten of those are included in a recently completed Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant application. We wish them good look in the grant approval process!
Presently we are working to expand this program and, as a result, are looking to identify additional west Louisville congregations that may wish to participate. Please forward your suggestions to aaron@kentuckyipl.org
