The Federal EPA is awarding over 2.3 Million dollars for Clean Diesel projects in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.
Officials say the money will go to projects that aim to reduce diesel emissions and help reduce or replace the nation’s existing fleet of old, dirty diesel motors and trucks.
In the Show Me State, the Southeastern Regional Planning Commission received $156,142 for its 3 projects in Southern Missouri, and the Leonardo Academy received $218,944 dollars towards their Propane School bus replacement project.
