MOKAN Construction Contractors Assistance Center gave its 2017 Community Partner Award to Ygrene Energy Fund for its efforts to connect minority businesses with access to stronger energy-contract job opportunities, particularly its community-based partnership with MOKAN and the city’s clean-energy financing program, Set the PACE St. Louis.
“This partnership and expanded inclusion initiative will provide an opportunity for minority and women-owned businesses and workers to gain access to financing for energy efficiency projects, expanding access to these services for low income communities,” said Yaphett El-Amin, executive director of MOKAN.
