For Residents of the Green Impact Zone
The most important strategy underlying all work in the Green Impact Zone is a strong neighborhood outreach program that engages every resident in the activities of the zone and helps each of them understand and access the wide range of resources available.
This outreach program will be the critical link between residents and the key Green Impact Zone strategies, including:
- Housing and weatherization programs
- Employment and training opportunities
- Energy and water conservation measures
- Public safety and community services
- Infrastructure improvements
