🎉 Thank you, California Environmental Voters' Inland Empire chapter for hosting the Inflation Reduction Act Accelerator in the City of Riverside! The California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) is honored that our Special Advisor of Innovation & Partnerships, Adrienne Moretz was able to give a keynote presentation to introduce our new Connecting Communities Initiative and participate in a panel discussion. Adrienne spoke to attendees about how technical assistance, resource diversification, and strategic partnerships can provide additional resources to access federal dollars made available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The IRA Accelerator was developed to bring together communities from across the Inland Empire and beyond to discuss federal funding opportunities and how we can help vulnerable communities access them. Attendees included City of Riverside staff, including Council Member Clarissa Cervantes, representatives from University of California, Riverside, GRID Alternatives , Green Energy Solutions, Inland Economic Growth & Opportunity (IEGO), California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), and many others! #CaliforniaForAll #ClimateEquity #ClimateResiliency
