GEFA

Last year, we launched Georgia's Home Energy Rebates delivering more than $25M in rebates to households statewide. More than 1,900 households have already saved an average of $1,465 on annual energy costs, while making their homes more comfortable. gefa.georgia.gov/press-releases…

The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) is celebrating our 40th Anniversary this year. In April 1986, the board of directors of the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority—our original name—held its first meeting at the State Capitol.

Today under the Gold Dome, we celebrated the year-long America 250 commemoration of our great nation and Georgia's many contributions to its proud history! Thank you to all our state partners who joined us to highlight the Peach State along with the land of the free and the home of the brave. 🇺🇸

From the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement to the leaders, artists and athletes who have helped shape our history and our future, we are reflecting on Georgians who have made incredible contributions to our state and nation during this Black History Month.  Marty and I encourage everyone to join us in celebrating their impact, character, and strength.

As we reflect on the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the more than 3,000 lives taken from us that day, we are reminded that despite threats to the freedoms and ideals that make us who we are, America is always strongest when we are united. We honor the first responders who put their fellow Americans’ lives above their own – without regard to political, religious, or racial differences – and look to the memories of that day and what came after it to bring our nation together today.
