The State of Illinois will chip in $70,000 toward the Geothermal system with a clean energy grant. Considering the library will be there for much longer than 18 years, this will definately be a benefit for taxpayers. The library gets a smaller, less risky overhead budget. I think it is a strength that public institutions can look further than a couple years out.
