Posted by Community

GREEN BAY – Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich joined Tribal leaders, business leaders, labor representatives, clean energy workers, and faith leaders Wednesday at a roundtable warning that proposed cuts in the federal reconciliation bill would significantly undermine local clean energy projects across Wisconsin and to urge members of Congress to act on protecting these provisions.

Theresa Lehman, director of sustainable services at Miron Construction Co. Inc. described a recent school project in Menasha that achieved net-zero energy thanks to IRA funding. “We’re helping reduce utility costs, improve health outcomes, and educate a generation of students about sustainability,” she said.
