Overview
The Lester Prairie, MN School District was looking to update their lighting system, but like many School Districts budgets were tight. After talking with Jeremy Schmidt the Superintendent a plan was put in place to convert all the lighting to LED using a 0% – 36 Month Financing to pay for the project. This is a great way for schools to get needed energy efficiency projects completed without up-front capital expenditures.
