The Grand Rapids Police Department will connect to Vicinity Energy's downtown steam heating system, a $1.1 million project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions as part of the city's goal to achieve 100% emissions reduction by 2040. This initiative will replace natural gas systems with steam heating, saving the city approximately $38,000 annually, and is complemented by a new 9-megawatt electric boiler expected to cut fossil fuel emissions by 30% through renewable energy.
