Description

A resolution approving a TVA Energy Right Business and Industry Incentives Program grant from the Tennessee Valley Authority to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the General Services Department, for current and future sustainability projects.

Summary

The proposed Nashville resolution accepts a $52,170.14 TVA Energy Right Business and Industry Incentives grant for the General Services Department, with no required cash match. The funding reimburses qualifying energy-efficiency work at three Metro facilities: HVAC upgrades at the Midtown Hills and West police precincts and lighting improvements at the Lentz Public Health Center. The legislation appropriates the award to General Services and authorizes its use for these and future sustainability projects. The program covers measures such as LED lighting, HVAC equipment, refrigeration, and variable-speed drives. No positions are created; related projects remain in the department’s annual budget.
