As the new Executive Director of the Pitkin Avenue BID, it has been a complete pleasure to be part of Small Business Climate Resilience Program, which designs and delivers projects to build resilience to climate change in business communities that are the backbone of many cities. 🌆

It was an even greater honor to be invited to speak on a panel today at the 7th Annual National Adaptation Forum , where I spoke about past and present projects, from canopy shading and tree guard installations to our tree guard benches which will be installed by this summer.

Our businesses have benefited greatly, from utility cost savings to cooling measures like solar control film that help keep interiors cooler. Thank you to the Mayor’s Office for continuing to include Brownsville in this work; we are deeply grateful to be part of Climate Strong Communities and look forward to sharing more from our partnership!
