Congratulations to all recipients of Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Implementation and Planning grants, which were formally announced by the Strategic Growth Council at the end of January. TCC funds neighborhood-level initiatives in Disadvantaged Communities that incorporate myriad Greenhouse Gas reduction strategies and projects that provide local economic, environmental, and health benefits while being grounded in cross-sector partnerships. The City of Fresno (for Transform Fresno), LA County (for the Watts Rising Collaborative) and the City of Ontario (for Ontario Connects) received $70 million, $35 million, and $35 million, respectively, for implementation. A total of $1.6 million in planning grants was awarded to East Oakland, Sacramento, East Los Angeles, Riverside, Stockton, Richmond, Coachella Valley, West Oakland, Moreno Valley, and Gateway Cities. We look forward to seeing what innovative plans and projects arise in these communities!
