Spotlight: 2011 EPA Climate Showcase Community

HEAL, in partnership with the city of Little Rock, is proud to be among 24 recipients of a 2011 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Showcase Community competitive grant. This partnership allows HEAL to expand its model to state and city -financed institutions, reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the city as a whole and creating green jobs in the community.

The Climate Showcase Community program was created by EPA in 2009 as a competitive grant competition to help local and tribal governments establish and implement climate change initiatives. The overall goal of the Climate Showcase Communities program is to create replicable models of cost-effective and persistent greenhouse gas reductions that will catalyze broader local and tribal government actions to stabilize the climate and improve environmental, economic, health, and social conditions.
