VACAVILLE - Vacaville is getting $849,000 in federal block grant money to help fund local energy efficiency projects, Rep. George Miller announced Monday.

The funds are from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which President Obama signed earlier this year. Vallejo is getting $1.05 million for energy efficiency projects in its town. Only those two Solano County cities got funding.

The program provides grants to local governments to help reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and improve energy efficiency.
