Today marks one year since President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law, and it’s already creating change in Wisconsin.

  Nancy Retana is Clean Wisconsin’s new Resilient Communities Program Director. As Clean Wisconsin builds on the success of the Resilient Communities work in Milwaukee and expands to other communities across Wisconsin, we talked with Nancy about her vision for the future of the program.

Green Infrastructure and Community Resiliency in Milwaukee and Beyond    Clean Wisconsin’s green infrastructure work continues to build community resiliency and provide needed protections for Milwaukee’s drinking water sources.
