“President Biden’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants give local governments the power to develop climate solutions that work in their communities,” John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy, said of the funding. “These grants will help state and local governments improve air quality and the health of their communities while accelerating America’s progress toward our climate goals.”
The climate pollution reduction subsidy program was established by Inflation Reduction ActPresident Joe Biden’s massive climate law that passed Congress without single GOP vote. The 25 winning proposals were selected from a pool of about 300 in a process “designed to be fair and impartial,” according to the EPA.
Specific projects financed with money announced on Monday switch on an initiative to expand the employ of impoundments in New England and Alaska, a decarbonization effort in Pennsylvania, and a multi-state coalition that will seek to improve electric vehicle charging infrastructure along the I-95 corridor, according to the EPA.
“President Biden believes in the power of community-based solutions to combat climate change, protect public health, and grow our economy. With his leadership, the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program will provide unprecedented resources to states, local governments, and tribes to fund solutions that work best in their communities,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said of the funding.
“Selected grantees have presented ambitious plans to develop sustainable agriculture, implement clean industrial technologies, reduce emissions and energy costs in homes and commercial buildings, and provide communities with cost-effective and energy-efficient heating and cooling, while creating opportunities for economic and workforce development.”
