(KMZA)--A Sabetha business has been awarded a grant from USDA Rural Development for energy efficiency improvements.

According to a news release from the agency, Garrett's Country Mart will use the nearly $83,000 grant to purchase and install new energy efficient refrigerators and freezers.

The release says the project is estimated to save more than 346,000 kilowatt hours per year, which is enough energy to power 33 homes.

USDA is investing nearly $559,000 to help 17 small businesses and ag producers in Kansas lower energy costs.
