The Biden administration today announced awardees for a series of grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was funded by the Inflation Reduction Act. Following the announcement, the BlueGreen Alliance released a statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh:

“Today’s announcement shows the Biden administration’s continued commitment to investing in communities around the country to support the deployment of clean energy, reduce pollution, and create good union jobs.

“We urge the EPA and the entities selected to work closely and thoughtfully with workers and communities to make sure the funding goes to those that need it most and adhere to high-road labor standards to make sure the jobs created are safe, good-paying, union jobs.”
