Aurora is expected to receive almost $3 million in stimulus funds from the Department of Energy.
The city filed an application last week, which it says is a formality, that will pay for 14 energy-saving projects and create jobs.
About $1.5 million of the $2.8 million will be used for Aurora city projects, such as retrofitting traffic signals with LED lights and updating building- automation systems related to HVAC and lighting.
The remaining money will go toward community projects and revolving loan funds to assist property owners with making energy-saving improvements.
