Regional Roadshows
The Regional Roadshow is a part of EPA’s Community, Equity & Resiliency initiative, a groundbreaking effort to help communities across the nation navigate EPA’s Inflation Reduction Act investments and other new funding opportunities made possible by President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. Through this new initiative, EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) and Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights (OEJECR) will provide space for in-person community-driven partnerships and for potential grant applicants and community leaders to learn, connect and cultivate ideas on how to access the historic resources, especially in low-income and disadvantaged communities.
