Bring Renewable Energy Jobs to the West Side Community Meeting
5:00PM-7:00PM
Join us for a discussion on how the West Side can benefit from new investments in renewable energy, and what we can do to create more opportunities to put people back to work and help people get into higher paying jobs.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the most historic climate legislation in the history of the United States. The passage of the bill last August will bring a boom to the clean energy industry by investing hundreds of billions of dollars in federal grants and tax incentives for clean energy projects.
These investments will lead to one million new jobs per year, but it’s not certain where – and for who – these jobs will be created. Let’s bring those jobs to the West Side!
