The Green Jobs Corps resolution passed Metro Council on July 21 with 35 co-sponsors signing on. We want to extend a special thanks to our two key sponsors, Councilman Erik Cole and Councilwoman Erica Gilmore. The resolution asks that the Green Jobs Corps be created as a community/public/private partnership and that green jobs that provide pathways out of poverty target Nashville's distressed communities. This initiative is being supported by the Green-Collar Jobs Task Force of Nashville-Davidson County, of which TAP is a key member.
PRESS CONFERENCE in support of Green Jobs Corps resolution was held Thursday, July 2, 2009, 12:15 pm, Farmer's Market, 900 8th Avenue North, Nashville. You can read the Channel 2 news story at this link; it includes a video.
