The Leonardtown Council accepted a $650,000 Maryland Energy Administration grant for town solar installations and approved a budget amendment to record the award. The town will later apply for a federal direct-pay incentive of $293,588 and estimated renewable energy credits of $35,039.

The Town of Leonardtown authorized signing a Maryland Energy Administration grant agreement and assignment of a federal tax credit to install solar panels on three town sites, aiming to cover roughly the project cost with state and federal incentives and reduce annual energy bills by about $55,000.
