With funding from the Inflation Reduction Act through the US EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG), KERAMIDA is working with the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC) to develop a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) that will be submitted to the EPA on March 1, 2024. The plan will connect and uplift existing state, regional, and local plans while preparing communities to be competitive for $4.6 billion in implementation grant funding for the policies and programs it identifies. Particular attention is paid to low-income and disadvantaged communities and how the programs in the plan will benefit underinvested areas in the jurisdiction. The plan will cover the four-county region of West Michigan, including Ionia, Kent, Montcalm, and Ottawa Counties.
KERAMIDA helps cities and educational institutions identify and implement forward-thinking sustainability strategies that create thriving communities and campuses that work for everyone.
