The City of Evansville received the 2020 Green Community of the Year Award from Accelerate Indiana Municipalities (Aim).
At last week's virtual Ideas Summit, Aim recognized Evansville’s comprehensive effort to develop a Climate Action Plan (CAP) with the assistance of the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute.
The CAP will create immediate, lasting benefits for Evansville, including strengthened economic development, improved air quality, and reduced waste.
Mayor Lloyd Winnecke is directing the plan's development, supported by IU Resilience Cohort extern Carolyn Townsend, a dual masters degree student at the IU O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Timothy Weir.
