What is the Green Jobs, Green Economy Initiative?
The Green Jobs, Green Economy Initiative (GJGEI) is a program of the Marion Institute, developed in collaboration with the Greater New Bedford Economic Development Council and the City of New Bedford. The objective is to address the gaps that are currently inhibiting the development of a robust and sustainable green economy in the City of New Bedford and surrounding region, with an initial focus on the energy efficiency sector. The initiative aims to use the short-term federal stimulus projects to build long-term capacity and infrastructure with an overarching goal of supporting New Bedford in becoming a national leader in the green jobs and sustainability movements.
