The City of Ann Arbor has expanded its electric yard care equipment rebate program for residents and businesses, according to a recent report from WEMU.
According to the report, the program offers a financial incentive for individuals and commercial operators to transition from gasoline-powered tools. It requires trading in old gas-powered equipment to qualify for a rebate, which covers a significant portion of the cost for new manual or electric tools. The structure provides different rebate levels for manual versus electric equipment, with varying maximums based on the type of tool purchased.
