Climate Action Plan goes before La Crosse city council in January meetings

A new year may bring a new sense of urgency to the issue of fighting climate change in western Wisconsin.  During its January meetings, the La Crosse city council will consider a Climate Action Plan which could lead to more earth-friendly policies within the next decade. 

City environmental planner Lewis Kuhlman says there’s plenty of government funding at higher levels which La Crosse could use to help put the plans in motion.

“(There’s) a lot of incentives, tax rebates, grants, low-interest, no-interest loans,” says Kuhlman, mostly coming from Washington and Madison.
