On July 12, PPI representatives joined EPA Region 7 Administrator Meg McCollister, Wichita State University officials and Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (EJ TCTAC) partners to celebrate the opening of the Region 7 EJ TCTAC, the Heartland Environmental Justice Center at WSU. The Center will serve to build the capacity of individuals, organizations and institutions who serve underserved and disadvantaged communities in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and adjoining indigenous nations, to make meaningful advances towards environmental and energy equity.
“Environmental justice is at the heart of everything we do at EPA Region 7,” McCollister said.
“Together with Wichita State University, we can provide the kind of technical assistance, guidance, and training necessary to navigate the federal grants process and ensure that our underserved communities get access to EPA’s historic funding opportunities.”
