The money from the slight hike is meant to go towards helping people weatherize their homes and programs to reduce carbon emissions.
It’s a part of the city’s Climate Legacy Initiative and officials say it will raise an additional $10 million each year starting in 2024 for climate action.
Dave Orrick wrote about the plan for the Star Tribune and broke it down on Climate Cast.
