On January 30, SEMCOG hosted our first Justice40 Communities Task Force meeting. This Task Force concurs with the federal government's commitment to Environmental Justice, and it will advance the region’s underserved and underinvested communities through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Incorporating equity is a deliberate component of SEMCOG’s planning and implementation work.

 This task force will ensure all voices and communities are heard in regional planning/initiatives and will connect Justice40 communities to resources for which they are eligible. It will also provide a space for collaboration and sharing of opportunities, challenges, and successes.
