Portland City Council votes to establish climate action fund

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 18, 2024

Portland will soon have a pool of money dedicated to paying for projects that reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses released by the city. The Portland City Council voted Monday night to establish a municipal climate action fund, which was recommended by city staff and the council’s finance and sustainability and transportation committees. This pot of money can only be used for its designated purpose – to cut down the city’s carbon emissions.
