Pennsylvania Receives $240M to Improve Water Infrastructure
Pennsylvania was awarded $240 million for water infrastructure improvements by the U.S. EPA.

How to Make the Most of the New U.S. Climate Tax Credits
The United States government just passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping piece of legislation that allocates nearly $400 billion dollars to fund clean energy and climate efforts. A big chunk of that amount is earmarked for tax credits for consumers. If you want to install solar panels, buy better windows, purchase a heat pump, or start driving an electric vehicle, there's a good chance you could get some money to offset the cost.
