Comprehensive Plan Engagement Opportunities

TDEC attended community events, conferences, and festivals in summer and fall 2024 across Tennessee to share more information about TVERS and collect input from stakeholders and the public. We gathered feedback from stakeholders and the public on emission reduction priorities, actions, and goals to support the Comprehensive Plan. 

CCAP Engagement

In this webinar, the TVERS team presented the Priority Plan, reviewed Tennessee's grant applications for EPA's CPRG Implementation funding, and discussed upcoming opportunities for engagement during the next phase for TVERS planning. 

Priority Plan Engagement  Opportunities

During out Fall 2023 public meetings and survey, we received incredible feedback from the public and stakeholders about emission reduction priorities, community actions and concerns, and key motivations. This feedback is being used to inform the goals and actions included in both the Priority Plan and future deliverables. See below for a summary of results and key themes from these engagement opportunities.
