As one of the fastest growing areas in the country, the Charlotte region has almost doubled in population since 1960, and continues to enjoy a high rate of growth. This growth brings prosperity for business and citizens, but it also presents some challenges. Two of those challenges are air pollution and traffic congestion.
Poor air quality and traffic congestion not only impact residents of the region, they also impact business in the form of lost productivity, lower employee morale, and the possibility of more federal regulations That’s why more than 50 companies and organizations have joined Clean Air Works! as charter Partners. See which regional leaders are making cleaner air - and cleaner commutes – priorities at their work sites.
In 2007, the Clean Air Works! project realized significant success in the region's fight to address air quality challenges by building on the efforts of existing partners and recruiting over 35 new partners to join us.
