Climate Justice Challenge sets aside $11M for fighting climate change in Michigan
MICHIGAN (WLUC) – A new program will help Michigan organizations apply for environmental grants.
The Climate Justice Challenge sets aside up to $11 million to help communities apply for federal funding from the Environmental Protection Agency.
If successful, community organizations could see $10 to $12 million in EPA funding.
Governor Whitmer’s chief infrastructure officer said the program allows Michiganders to take the lead in fighting climate change.
“As Michiganders living our lives every day, the opportunity is to not only meet our own climate goals, but to lead the world and help export our technology and create jobs right here in our home,” Chief Infrastructure Officer Zach Kolodin said.
Applications close July 1.
