Wisconsin Departments Teaming Up to Create a Tool to Help With Environmental Challenges

Friday, October 8th, 2021 -- 8:02 AM

(WMTV) Departments across Wisconsin are teaming up to create a tool that will help determine environmental challenges statewide and the investments needed, Governor Evers stated Thursday.

The Department of Administration, Health Services, Natural Resources and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation will make an environmental and public health mapping system, which will be known as the Wisconsin Environmental Equity Tool.

Governor Evers explained that this tool will analyze data so users can look at what Wisconsin communities are most impacted by environmental challenges, what those challenges are and what can be done to build a healthy community.

The agencies will host listening sessions in November to get the community’s input on environmental and health needs. The sessions will be virtual and held on November 2nd at 7pm, November 4th at 4:30pm, and November 6th at 10am.
