TCC Rulemaking

On September 14, 2016, Governor Brown signed AB 2722, which creates the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program, a grant program administered by the Strategic Growth Council, for broad-based greenhouse gas emission reduction projects that provide local economic, environmental and health benefits to disadvantaged communities.
