U.S. EPA helps U.S. cities become green

摘要

Five U.S. cities won a national competition to receive funds for green development projects. Through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greening America's Capitals program, Frankfort, Ky.; Des Moines, Iowa; Baton Rouge, La.; Helena, Mont.; and Indianapolis will receive assistance for green projects designed to stimulate economic development, provide more housing and transportation, and reduce infrastructure and energy costs, according to an EPA news release. EPA will provide design assistance from private-sector experts to help these cities demonstrate sustainable development, the news release says.
