Ann Arbor voters have passed the Community Climate Action Millage! “The passing of this millage marks a monumental step forward in our collective efforts to achieve A2ZERO and our goal of a just transition to community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030,” said Dr. Missy Stults, City of Ann Arbor Sustainability and Innovations director.
The newly adopted Community Climate Action Millage will support programs and initiatives such as: • Direct rebates for home, rental, and business energy improvements, including rebates for energy waste reduction, renewable energy installations, appliance electrification, and energy storage systems. • Year-round composting and recycling collection for commercial and multi-family units.• Renewable energy deployments at affordable housing sites, community centers across the city, and the city’s capped landfill.• Support for resilience centers, local food production and heat and flood preparedness initiatives. • The installation of more streetlights, crosswalks and protected bike lanes across the city. • More electric vehicle charging infrastructure and incentives to support multi-modal transportation.
