Dinniman: West Chester Awarded Solar Energy Grant FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: ADAM CIRUCCI “It’s great to see that the borough is planning ahead to not only provide more parking for residents, employees and consumers, but also to conserve energy and utilize renewable resources,” Dinniman said. “Investing in these kinds of projects today will leave West Chester and Pennsylvania better prepared for tomorrow.” The Commonwealth Financing Authority today approved the grant under the Solar Energy Program for the construction of a solar photovoltaic energy system on the roof of the new parking garage at 14 East Chestnut Street. Funding for the project comes through the Alternative Energy Investment Act (Act 1 of 2008), which allocated $650 million in funding to support the research, development and deployment of renewable energy projects and technologies.
