The following content appears courtesy of Lincoln Electric System's EnergyLine Newsletter.

If you are planning any projects that could increase your organization’s energy efficiency, you may be interested in LES financial incentives that will be available beginning Feb. 1. The first step for project eligibility is to attend one of the program meetings scheduled for 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 25 or Jan. 27 at The Center for People In Need, 3901 N. 27th St. Lincoln, NE.

Attendance is required at one of these meetings to be eligible to apply for incentives, even if you attended a meeting in 2010, because there are changes to the program.
