Rep. Jackie Haas is happy to see that funds are being put to good use at the Kankakee Community College.
In a Sept. 15 Facebook post, Haas shared how Kankakee Community College is using Illinois Green Energy Networks funding.
"I had the opportunity to visit Kankakee Community College yesterday to see first-hand their use of Illinois Green Energy Networks (IGEN) funds; these funds are a direct result of bipartisan legislation passed in Springfield and it was something I was proud to back to help make our state better, cleaner, and safer—starting with clean energy," Haas said. "As a state lawmaker, it’s always nice to see firsthand how funds are put to good use right in our community, and I enjoyed taking a tour, seeing the college’s facilities, and learning about KCC’s renewable energy training program for the future vision of IGEN. Thanks for having me Kankakee Community College!”
The Illinois Green Economy Network was created with the passage of Senate Bill 0518, on Aug. 25, 2017.
Kankakee Community College is a founding member of IGEN.
The IGEN network is a consortium of 39 community college districts across the state. It was formed in 2008, and there are eight areas of focus: building sciences, energy, food, manufacturing, natural resources, transportation, waste, and water.
