“Austin is one of the leading cities across the country for green jobs and green technology — but to maintain this status, we must continue to find a variety of resources for investments,” State Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, D-Austin, said. “I believe this will be a win-win for the Central Texas economy as well as for our environment.”

SOL Austin is an example of what the program would encourage.
