This grant proposal will enable the City to expand cutting edge sustainability initiatives currently underway. The City's Go Green grant program has already resulted in $1.3 million in clean energy home improvements. With additional funding we can continue this highly successful effort knowing the strong demand from households across the City. The City's EV Charging Infrastructure Strategic Plan can also be accelerated with additional funding. The City's Sustainability Plan is paying significant dividends but we need additional partners, including the MPSC to expand these Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure projects.
