The committee that governs Portland’s voter-approved clean energy grants program released its recommendations Wednesday for $111 million across 66 awards aimed to improve environmental equity.
The fund is intended to provide money to reduce carbon emissions, create jobs and help vulnerable residents who face some of the most severe impacts from climate change, such as the more than 60 people who died during last summer’s heat wave. The fund is also meant to prioritize people of color and other historically marginalized communities.
