The Governor’s Office of Resiliency recently received a grant from the federal government to draft a plan to reduce harmful emissions and pollution in our state. They have partnered with Arizona State University (ASU) to obtain input from jurisdictions and citizens in diverse communities across the state to inform a plan that will guide the state in addressing climate change. A priority is hearing from residents in underserved, rural, and tribal communities.
ASU has partnered with Coconino County to host two community town halls to better understand county citizens thoughts, concerns, and ideas related to climate change topics such as electric vehicles, forest management and water conservation. The two focus groups will be held on Tuesday, December 12. The first focus group will be held at Highlands Fire Station on Old Munds Highway from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The second group will be held in the evening at the Summit Fire Station on Cosnino Rd. from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
This is a great opportunity for County residents to help shape state climate policy and resiliency preparedness.
Citizens can attend virtually as well. To register to attend virtually visit the following links (links are case-sensitive):
