The Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth is proposing to use State Energy Program American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding for the implementation of approximately 20 passive solar greenhouses (i.e. hoop houses) to increase locally grown fruit and vegetable production in Michigan. The funding will be used for the purchase of materials and supplies to construct passive solar systems (hoop houses). These structures, by definition, are semi-permanent, temporary or movable.
