The final funding was appropriated in <br /> March of 2010 and we are moving rapidly with the ramp up of the rest of the programs <br /> listed in the eight areas indentified. <br /> Green Economy Group <br /> The City has been participating in an ad hoc Green Economy Group. The group's goal <br /> and mission is to: <br /> Be the catalyst for change and advocacy at all levels for the new Tri- Valley sustainable <br /> GREEN economy. <br /> This group holds promise for the future in bringing together a collaborative group of <br /> stakeholders in the tri- valley including business, education, unions, residents, <br /> legislators, government, conservationists, and environmentalists. The focus is to <br /> ensure that we take action now to change both the environmental and economic path <br /> we are on so that our community can become sustainable in the 21 Century. The <br /> group meets the first Wednesday of the month at 9 AM at various locations around the <br /> Valley. <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
