Doyle offers $700,000 in grants to bio-energy projects

Governor Jim Doyle said the state Department of Agriculture is launching a $1 million program he put in the 2005 budget to boost the development of renewable energy sources and materials.
Of the program’s funding, $700,000 will go into grants of up to $150,000 each for businesses or individuals working on biologically based fuels, waste reclamation systems or materials. Proposals are due March 1, and applications can be found on the grant program Web site.
