DeSoto County, Horn Lake pass on federal greenhouse gas-emissions grant
“Years ago (Memphs and Shelby County) used our numbers to apply for a grant for a sewer system and used our population,” DeSoto County Supervisor Mark Gardner said. “Now they’re kicking us off their sewer system, so (I’m) a little bit skeptical when they want to use our numbers for something.” (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian file)
During phase two of the grant program, which is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, each jurisdiction could potentially be awarded up to $100 million.
