Appalachian Community Capital reposted this
We are thrilled to share that Appalachian Community Capital (ACC) has been awarded a monumental $500 million from the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund - Clean Communities Investment Accelerator! This funding will launch the Green Bank for Rural America, a groundbreaking initiative that will drive $1.6 billion into 2,000 new energy projects, create 13,000 good jobs, and reduce up to 850,000 tons of pollution annually. 🍃 Congratulations to the coalition of nearly 50 lenders, community organizations, and educational institutions that contributed to this effort, including Pathway's own Clint Gwin, ACC Board Chair. Clint described this as a "gamechanger for historically under-invested communities and the community development finance field that supports underserved areas." 💡 Read more: https://ow.ly/uN3B50T2e5M
