The City of Richmond and six local organizations (together known as ‘Richmond Rising’) received $35 million in state funding to bring health, economic, and environmental benefits to the Iron Triangle, Santa Fe, and Coronado neighborhoods.
Richmond Rising Projects range from constructing new bike lanes to installing residential solar power systems, and from planting trees to furthering workforce development and job training programs. Additional information regarding the Richmond Rising program can be found here.
