The following is a press release issued by the City of Ukiah:
The City of Ukiah is pleased to announce an interactive and bilingual community workshop to take place on Thursday, September 26th, at the Ukiah Valley Conference Center (UVCC) to aid the City in its development of a Climate Action Plan (CAP) and enhance community awareness.
The purpose of the September 26th workshop is to solicit feedback from the community regarding recommendations for future climate action strategies. Whether this means expanding local incentives for electric vehicles and solar power, planting more trees, and/or phasing out natural gas-run appliances, the City wants to hear from residents regarding what strategies the City should prioritize for future action.
“In 2022, our community asked the Ukiah City Council to adopt a climate emergency declaration here in Ukiah and now, just two years later, the City is working to develop strategies for urgent climate action. I commend the City’s efforts to engage in a meaningful way with the community and I encourage everyone who desires a habitable planet for our descendants to come out on September 26th and participate,” said Crispin Hollinshead, Ukiah resident and environmental advocate.
