Concentration: State and Local Initiatives/Other

In support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s green jobs initiatives, regional representatives who participate on the Agency’s Green Job Work Group will hold a forum to discuss the activities and programs their regional offices are engaged in as they promote and create good green jobs in their respective areas of the country. A substantial amount of work is being performed by the EPA regions in the green jobs arena.
