Boulder County, CO Flagstaff 4 Corners Carbon Coalition
The founding governments approved funding for regional innovation challenges and business development related to climate change. Boulder County and Flagstaff were joined by Salt Lake City and Santa Fe prior to the coalition's first challenge. This initial challenge sought new ideas for reducing carbon emissions during the production, use, and reuse of concrete.
