City to work with regional partners to update climate plan following $1M EPA grant

The City of San Antonio has been awarded $1 million, which it will use in partnership with AACOG to update and expand the city's climate plan.

The second phase will see the EPA issue implementation grants to municipalities that create a competitive “priority climate action plan,” Melnick said. Funding from the first phase will go toward creating these plans, he added. “We’re going to review all of the mitigation strategies and confirm that ‘Yes, these still make sense.’ We’ll consider, ‘Are there any gaps that may have evolved since 2019?

Melnick added the updates will not need council approval since they aren’t as extensive as a new plan.
