Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa Announces Big Solar Initiative
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announces a solar initiative that would create up to 400 green jobs over the next 3 years.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other municipal leaders unveiled a green energy initiative Tuesday by the city’s utility that they predict will create as many as 400 union jobs over the next three years to install and maintain solar panels on city buildings and other structures around Los Angeles.
Villaraigosa promoted the new effort as part
of a larger clean-growth strategy during an appearance atop a Los Angeles Convention Center parking garage with solar panels as a backdrop. He was flanked by five members of California’s congressional delegation, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-East Los Angeles).
