Green Revolving Fund for city buildings

The city has a plan to get 130 municipal buildings off fossil fuels by 2040 — about $61 million in work, dropping to $54 million after incentives, with up to $12 million in energy savings. Schools are the biggest piece, producing 73% of city building emissions, and 22 electrification projects are already done or underway.
