Vt. granted green jobs fundingThe Associated Press | November 20,2009
MONTPELIER — Vermont and seven other states will share nearly $4 million in economic stimulus funding to support a green jobs program.
Vermont led an eight-state Northeast Research Consortium that applied for a research grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders says the states will use the funding to produce data on the demand for green jobs, and list job openings and job training in clean energy industries as part of an effort to develop a green jobs bank.
The other states involved in the research are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
Nationwide, $55 million in green job grants were announced.2 CommentsMORE IN World / NationalCHICAGO — Couch potatoes everywhere can pause and thank Eugene Polley for hours of feet-up...
