"We have the opportunity to take advantage of some reimbursable grants that will fully pay for the cost of conversion up to four vehicles to propane fuel," said Charleston City Manager David Molgaard.

The conversion will be paid for through the United States Department of Energy Clean Start Grant. The conversion will be handled by the company Propane Fuel Technologies, the soul source provider of the grant.
