In partnership with the Apollo Alliance, the City of Newark recently held a two-day “Newark’s Green Future” Summit which was the first time a predominantly African American city decided to comprehensively pursue a new development strategy based on clean energy and creating green-collar jobs.The summit, which was open to the public, signaled Newark’s intention to become a national model for environmental and economic policies that will lead to sustainable development of Newark – development, according to the Apollo Alliance, that “creates ‘green jobs’ for residents, positively impacts community health, enhances public infrastructure, and increases opportunities for future generations.” Dodge is pleased to have been a part of this forward-thinking event.
