Climate Action Plan for West Michigan - GVMC
Project Details:
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), an alliance of governmental units in the West Michigan area, 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 hosted three in-person community feedback sessions, facilitated four advisory committees, and led the strategy behind the plan development. Our team used ClimateView to model emission reductions, collect information, and set targets.
KERAMIDA will continue working with GVMC to develop the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) and Status Report through 2027.
