A car dealership owned by family members of U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly of Butler is the recipient of a nearly $315,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to install enough solar panels to power 25 homes, reported the Erie Times-News.
The grant program was funded by President Joe Biden's
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which Kelly, R-16th Dist., opposed because it
was "loaded with bad policy and wasteful spending."
The allocation was listed in a USDA report of quarterly
awards from its Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). The grant is being
used at a Mike Kelly Automotive Group dealership in Uniontown, Pennsylvania,
which is located in Fayette County in the congressional district of fellow
Republican U.S. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-14th Dist.
The grant allows the dealership to install a 261.9-kilowatt
solar photovoltaic system, which is projected to save the family-owned business
an estimated $27,300 a year.
