The Mecklenburg Department of Air Quality is advocating the Board of County Commissioners adopt an ordinance called “Cutting Pollution Where it Counts” which would require Mecklenburg County businesses to reduce the amount of commute-related emissions and/or business-related emissions by 25% on Ozone Alert Days (Code Orange, Red or Purple).  Read a draft of the proposed ordinance, and let your County Commissioners know how this would impact your business. 

To read more about the ordinance and what you can do, please click here or visit our Manufacturing Business Alliance web page. 

On November 2nd you have the opportunity to make a difference – vote FOR Amendment One for jobs and YES for City County Bonds for greenways and parks.  For more information, please visit www.amendmentone.org and www.voteyesforbonds.com.
