The cost of living is rising – utilities, housing, food. City leaders across the country are grappling with how to make life more affordable for residents while navigating federal policy changes, tightening budgets, and tighter credit markets. DC has established itself as a leader in tackling these challenges head-on: through policies that cut costs for residents, drive commerce, and advance efficiency, clean energy, and resilience.
Join DC Green Bank, Groundswell, and the DC Chamber of Commerce on Earth Day, April 22 for a morning of conversation, connection, and practical solutions.
From pioneering new residential developments bringing jobs and neighborhood vitality to every ward in DC, community solar programs putting money back in residents’ pockets, to C-PACE financing that’s helping building owners cut energy costs — this event will showcase what’s working, why it matters, and how DC’s model can serve as a roadmap for cities across the country.
Local solutions have never been more important. Come hear from the people building them — and the businesses, residents, and communities that are already benefitting.
