So
I'll
walk
us
through
the
plan
and
what
actually
but
I
want
to
set
some
context
first,
this
is
a
plan
that
prepares
RC
and
our
economy
for
change
change,
yes
in
climate,
but
also
changing
growth
and
change
in
in
our
local
economy
and
how
it
works.
What
the
industries
here
and
it
really
positions
us
as
a
leader
and
at
the
beginning
of
this
plan
we
knew
it
was
important
to
specifically
highlight
equities
of
the
central
value.
C
This
is
part
of
the
information
put
out
and
it
continues
to
get
these
in
this
in
this
particular
time,
but
our
city
is
growing
and
a
climate
action
plan
is
only
effective
if
it
recognizes
that
growth,
it
helps
us
manage
it
in
a
really
effective
and
thoughtful
way.
Next
slide,
please,
but
specifically,
our
green
economy
is
growing.
The
expansion
of
Volkswagen's
product
line
that
died
before
is
about
a
thousand
new
jobs
to
Chattanooga
with
possibility.
More
than
800
million
dollar
investment.
C
Had
said
that
they
came
to
Chattanooga
because
of
our
commitment
to
our
quality
of
life
and
our
Great
Outdoors,
which
was
able
to
attract
their
employees.
I
want
to
be
very
clear.
The
global
economy
is
transitioning
from
oil
fields
and
taxes
to
battery
production
in
Chattanooga,
and
that
is
a
massive
shift
and
it
positions
our
community
to
be
a
really
strong
player.
As
this
new
sector
of
our
economy
takes
not
only
National
but
International
precedence,
the
Vikings
Administration
has
been
very
clear.
C
They
are
taking
this
new
approach
to
things
like
electric
production
City
conductors.
The
city
of
Chattanooga
is
going
to
be
pursuing
the
regional
technology
hubs,
grant
that
was
recently
put
out
by
the
economic
development
agency.
Billions
of
dollars
are
flowing
and,
as
the
country
potentially
takes
a
new
approach
to
Industrial
policy,
where
we
put
ourselves
in
the
skill
to
make
sure
that
manufacturing
comes
back
to
chatbed
to
the
places
across
the
United
States.
B
C
C
Additionally,
our
outdoor
economy
is
strong
and
you
guys
all
heard
from
Scott
Martin
about
this.
This
is
his
key.
Our
identity,
I
won't
regain
all
the
numbers
here,
but
1.5
billion
dollars
really
focused
on
tourism
here
that
employed
11,
620
people,
and
we
know
that
those
dollars
spent
here
by
tourists
also
have
a
multiplier
and.
D
C
A
C
Next
slide,
please
that's
a
huge
part
of
the
reason
we're
introducing
Chattanooga,
so
I'll
cover
what
a
climate
action
plan
is,
but
at
its
simplest
it's
a
sustainability
and
resilience
plan.
It
is
a
growth
plan
and
is
a
jobs
plan,
and
it's
also
a
framework
for
getting
things
done.
It's
a
framework
for
Action.
Together
we
have
the
opportunity
to
capture
the
benefits
of
being
a
leader
in
this
economy
and,
as
the.
A
C
C
Plan
itself,
I
want
to
be
very
clear,
requisite
or
a
a
multiplier
for
our
ability
to
get
those
foundations,
but
it
also
leverages
Partnerships
and
best
practices
Nationwide
to
help
one
the
effects
of
climate
change,
which
is
incredibly
importantly,
to
our
community,
but
also
it's
the
entire
country.
This
country
belongs
to
expanded
Accords,
as
well
as
several
other
agreements
which
bind
this
country
to
certain
targets
and
in
order
to
achieve
those
targeted,
cities
have
to
participate
and
what
we
know
about
that
is
right.
C
C
C
And
the
first
one
is
that
it
starts
with.
Actually
it's
a
genuine
produced
disparities
among
socially
and
economic
people
that
needs
to
put
Equity
first
and
we're
taking
a
public
health
approach
Even
in
our
climate
action
plan.
It's
something
that
we
were
really
fortunate
to
get
some
good
feedback
from
the
folks
over
in
the
UCC
national
public
health
program
and
we're
integrating
their
feedback
into
our
work.
C
The
next
one
is
a
big
one,
but
Chattanooga
will
become
at
zero
and
that's
net
zero
parking
Community
with
the
municipal
footprint
getting
that
Zero
by
2040
and
we're
committing
that
regarding
the
by
2050..
So
the
city
itself,
our
local
government,
Net
Zero
by
1240
I,
think
we're
already.
You
know
making
very
quick
strategies,
and
this
is
in
line
with
with
national
students.
C
So
how
do
we
plan
on
doing
this?
I?
Think
in
partnership
with
all
of
you
is
the
first
part
like
this
plan.
We
are
asking
for
and
we'll
be
Institution
for
adoption
by
Council
and
it
can
be
updated
and
adjusted
regularly
as
any
other
plan
that
can
put
out
with
our
partnership
Regional
planning
agency,
with
your
use
of
plans
that
live
continuously
true.
C
B
C
Had
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory
I
guess
seven
years
ago
before
this
Administration
and
it's
clear
that
the
vast
majority
of
our
emissions,
that's
a
city
government,
additional
buildings
and
reducing
that
with
our
partners
at
TPA
Epp.
But
as
we
continue
to
make
progress
there,
we
are
going
to
make
sure
that
we
give
that
number
to
zero
and
I.
Think
that
will
be
a
tremendous
accomplishment
and
this
plan
calls
for
quick
stops.
C
C
No
one
in
this
room
wants
to
go
backwards,
and
this
also
make
sure
that
our
parks
and
green
spaces
were
made
in
priority,
and
this
is
well
done-
is
already
shared
with
you
and
it's
really
an
investment
in
our
quality
of
life.
That
is
I
think
what
you're
seeing
here
is
a
dumb
feeling
of
different
verticals
from
the
climate
action
plan.
For
example,
there.
C
Thousands,
so
we
are
thinking
about
these
things,
employers
and
finally,
this
plan
grows
our
local
people
economy
of
the
future,
and
we've
already
said
that
the
numbers
here
are
staggering:
a
trillion
dollar
industry
already
today
that
a
number
will
actually
grow
and
China
has
a
real
potential
to
be
at
the
Forefront
of
it
is
Nirvana's.
It
continues.
C
Yeah,
but
also
for
all
the
companies,
we
don't
even
know
we're
going
to
want
to
take
care
of,
because
we
have
all
the
synergies
and
the
overlap
in
that
industry.
Then
clustering
effects
will
attract
more
companies
and
that's
those
are
conversations
that
Germaine
and
Charles
and
the
Chamber
so
I'll
also
up
there.
Actually,
if
you
don't
want
to
go
back
on
site,
I
do
want
to
see
if
there
are
any
questions
about
the
goals
before
I
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
chocolates.
C
C
Way:
Technical
Training
that
they
offer
you
on
the
job
through
apprenticeship
programs.
They
are
offering
to
refrigerated
Institute
at
Lookout,
Valley
and
I
think
by
creating
those
opportunities
where
it's
getting
technology
out
of
the
lab
and
out
of
the
theoretical
bipolar
environment,
they're,
getting
them
into
spaces
and
factories.
Here
in
Chattanooga,
where
we're
making
things
again,
that's
really
exciting.
C
I
think
it
offers
a
huge
opportunity
for
folks
in
the
historically
this
community
again,
if
the
president
and
the
country
are
moving
in
a
Direction,
Where
We
Are
onshoring
jobs
at
a
historically
manufacturing
is
coming
up
faster
than
any
time
in
the
last
20
to
30
years.
We
want
those
things
that
are
going
to
be
made
in
America
and
that's
what
this
point
and.
B
I'm
glad
you
said
that,
because
well
it
wasn't
long
ago,
I
feel
like
I
was
talking
to
America
and
pushing
the
technology.
Jobs
and
I
were
understanding,
I
think
while
I
was
campaigning
and
I
said
well,
hang
on
what
about
our
Roots
I
mean
we're
manufacturing
City
to
go,
make
sure
that
those
foundational
jobs
are
available
too
and,
of
course,
with
Workforce
Development
yeah
being
a
priority.
C
Yeah,
that's
what
I
hope
to
see.
Yeah
absolutely
I
think
that
that
is
going
to
be
top
of
Mind
as
we
bring
not
only
industry
and
companies
into
our
community
when
you
think
about
what
are
the
Workforce
Development
and
training
centers
that
we
need
to
prepare
folks
for
the
future.
I
think
green
spaces.
A
D
C
Provide
those
alternative,
transportation
opportunities,
but
also
we
know
that
public
transit
might
also
is
happening,
buses,
individuals
and
they
carry
25
people.
You
can
take
24
cars
off
the
road
and
if
it
becomes
an
attractive
alternative-
and
we
know
that
if
the
system
works
and
if
you
can
get
people
to
the
jobs
they're
trying
to
go
to
it,
that
is
a
huge
way
for
us
to
reduce
foreign.
D
C
B
C
Next
slide,
please
an
example:
project
I
think
we're
not
talking
about
radical
changes
here,
but
often
just
common
sense
things
that
come
from
intentionality,
so
our
public
works
department
refuse
week
300,
000
gallons
around
three
thousand
metric
tons
of
carbon
in
the
ATM
students.
Here
by
converting
one
garbage
truck
into
natural
gas.
D
A
C
A
And
the
top
end
is,
you
know
five
plus
million
dollars
in
operational
savings,
but
if
that
on
its
own
CNP
can
give
us
a
20
profit
in
the
greenhouse
gases.
We
have
opportunities
for
renewable
natural
gas
and
having
more
drastic
production
on
it
on
a
level
about
70.
So
and
again,
this
is
a
cost-saving
mechanism
covered,
like
we've
partnered,
with
having
discussions
with
DeKalb
County
Georgia.
A
B
C
Tonight
billion
dollars
for
energy
security,
but
then
also
the
chips
act
also
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
money
set
aside
and
that's
why
we're
pursuing
the
regional
technology
as
well?
I
do
want
to
come
back
around
to
the
fact
that
this
plan
was
built
into
this
approach,
and
it
was
informed
by
many
other
plans.
Report.
C
So
in
terms
of
next
steps,
there
are
some
initial
loading
fruit
that
we
are
getting
included
in
our
next
budget,
which
is
every
two
years.
We
want
to
do
a
greenhouse
gases
inventory,
because
that
will
help
create
the
roadmap
for
us
to
determine
where
our
biggest
bank
or
our
buck
is
a
producing
our
commissions
and.
