New Mow Electric program!

This looks like it's going to be an even better program than I expected! The rebates will be promoted to communities that have often been bypassed by energy saving and health improving energy efforts. Other KS communities, please copy:

Mow Electric! Rebate Program

Next spring, the MARC Air Quality Program will launch a new pilot program that will provide rebates to individuals who scrap and recycle their gas-powered mower and purchase a new electric version. The program will be available to households in Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas and Platte, Clay and Jackson counties in Missouri. While anyone can take advantage of the rebates, the program will focus on households in pollution-burdened, environmental justice communities through strategic marketing and by hosting one-stop mower-swap out events in these communities in partnership with local metal recycling companies and lawn mower retailers. Watch out for more details this coming spring!
