Worcester's Forest Grove Middle School is getting state financial assistance for a new transformer as part of a clean energy program announced Tuesday.
State funding is providing 28 Central Massachusetts cities and towns with more than $4.7 million to cover clean energy projects.
The funding, announced by the Baker Administration Tuesday, cover a range of initiatives, from ventilation system upgrades and efficient lighting to electric vehicles and energy management systems.
The state gave $14.9 million in total to 91 cities and towns certified as so-called green communities, which means they've set a goal to cut municipal energy use by 20% in five years, and put in place zoning easily allowing renewable energy projects such as solar panel arrays, among other criteria.
