Nonprofits and government combine to achieve climate justice

From our Tampa-area publication, 83 Degrees, we reported on how local government and a nonprofit are leveraging a federal EPA grant for infrastructure projects that increase economic opportunity, reduce pollution, protect the public health, and improve the quality of life in the at-risk neighborhood west of the University of South Florida. “By restoring the land and improving environmental conditions, we are making the area safer, healthier, and more livable for residents,” says the nonprofit leader who is holding her breath that a sudden grant elimination doesn’t bring the work to a halt.
