Project title: Establishing Industry Partnerships to Reduce Local Air Pollution
Organization and author names: Southeast Como Improvement Association
Project summary: Concerned about local air pollution, residents of the Southeast Como neighborhood near Minneapolis, Minnesota, used TRI data to identify nearby industrial facilities with the largest air emissions. The group approached three of these facilities and established good neighbor agreements in which the parties committed to working together to find ways to reduce air emissions. The work done under these agreements earned the facilities and community group the Minnesota Governor's Award for Pollution Prevention.
