Lee County, FL

• Public-private partnership to secure funding for a biodiesel plant. ($5.5 private funds, $500,000 EECBG). • 92 job expected with the potential for additional jobs in the agricultural industry

• In the first year of operation, the plant is expected to produce 4.3 gallons of biodiesel, 500,000 gallons of which will be used for Lee County government vehicles. The reduction in carbon emissions equates to 37,883 metric tons annually.

•Using EECBG funds, Lee County constructed a photovoltaic system on the Public Safety Building to provide electrical power for the operations of the 24 hour/7 day a week facility. ($325,680 EECBG funds utilized). This system will save 40,150kWH of energy annually and creates 40.15 MWH per year.

•Lee County is utilizing $1M in EECBG funding to conduct Traffic Signal Retiming. This project is expected to save 400,000 gallons of gas annually, which equates to 3,524 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions reduced per year. Traffic congestions will be reduced by 5-20.
