The City of Jackson will host an Energy Efficiency Program Aug. 10 and 11 at the Mississippi Arts Center (201 E. Pascagoula St.) from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
During the event, residents can learn about energy conservation, renewable energy, recycling and waste reduction.
Homeowners will also have the opportunity to sign up for the Residential Retrofit Voucher Program. The program provides low-income homeowners with vouchers to retrofit their homes with Energy Star appliances such as hot water heaters, refrigerators and air conditioning units.
"We are excited to launch this important program for our residents," Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. said in a statement today. "Not only are we providing important educational resources for citizens to use to reduce their energy consumption and save money, but the voucher program is going to go a long way in ensuring that residents see an almost immediate benefit of these energy-efficient appliances."
