What happened
The Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board approved a $1.8 million grant to VEDA to assist downtown businesses in Virginia with heat source conversions. This funding is intended to help businesses transition away from steam heat, which Virginia Public Utilities is scheduled to shut off in the downtown area on November 2.

Why it matters
The grant is a proactive measure intended to prevent downtown properties from becoming vacant and dilapidated after the steam heat mandate. Without the conversion, property owners might let buildings go tax forfeit, which could later require county funds for demolition.
The Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board previously approved $500,000 for local trail clubs in Eveleth.
