Title/Name/Summary
Paddy B’s - Smart Energy Fund
History
A special use permit for Paddy B’s restaurant and pub at 11969 W. 143rd Street (Timothy F. McCarthy, petitioner) was approved by the Village Board in April 2010 as an 1,800 square foot, 48 seat restaurant in the 11969 143rd Street unit of the Pinewood Plaza shopping center.
Since the approval, Paddy B’s has submitted an application to the Orland Park Smart Energy Fund for $8,891.59 to install energy efficient commercial restaurant equipment, a new energy efficient cooling motor and energy efficient lighting. The improvements are valued up to $17,783.18, with the Smart Energy Fund paying 50%.
Financial Impact
The proposed project does not financially impact the Village of Orland Park’s budget.
Funding is provided through the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant (EECBG), which was funded via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The Smart Energy Fund is a US DOE approved Project Activity under EECBG.
Total Smart Energy Fund assistance for Paddy B’s: $8,891.59;

Since the Committee meeting, the petitioner has met condition 5 from the Committee motion-which was to identify the number of T-8 lighting units. The petitioner has identified 24 T-8 lighting units.
