ILG’s Role in the Gateway Cities

2016-2018Gateway Cities Climate Action Catalyst Project.

SoCal Gas sponsored aCivic Spark Fellow at the Gateway Cities COG to

provide additional capacity.

2018-2019TCC Planning Grant funded

capacity building, helping match projects with possible funding sources and linking

cities with various state technical assistance

providers.

2017-2018Climate Action Planning

Promoting Good Government at the Local Level for 60 Years

Because disadvantaged communities have limited staff and fiscal capacity, the Beacon Program provides resources to help:

• Establish greenhouse gas and energy efficiency goals

• Select and implement sustainability best practices

• Secure funding • Measure progress• Share lessons learned.

ILG’s Beacon Program Nearly half of the cities and counties participating in the Beacon Program

include disadvantaged communities.
