Cities in the San Francisco Bay Area will receive more than $42 million to combat climate change by planting trees and creating urban spaces, among other projects, California lawmakers said this week.
U.S. Sens. Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein, D-California, said the funding is part of a $102.8 million grant awarded to the state by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. It comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, according to the agency.
