More Unfunded Mandates Coming From Harrisburg

The Wolf Administration has released its Pennsylvania Climate Action Plan 2021 and is calling for statewide action on climate change by all sectors, including local governments. Mandates on flooding mitigation and more restrictive building codes are sure to add news costs to local communities so budget accordingly.  The document sets Pennsylvania’s greenhouse gas reduction goals at 26% by 2025 and 80% by 2050 compared to 2005 levels. The 278-page document details 18 actions to meet statewide emissions goals if carried about by the affected sectors. Click here to view the plan.
