Bay Area Air District grant applications
The city is applying for up to $5 million to give Benicia residents and small businesses rebates for heat pumps, solar, insulation, EV chargers and air filtration, with priority for fence-line neighborhoods. It will also co-apply with BCAMP, the school district, and Sustainable Solano.
