Climate Ready Gary Plan –The City’s first climate resilience plan.  Climate Ready Gary, developed from an almost year-long, community-driven process, provides concrete actions we can take to ensure Gary, its residents and businesses, are prepared for and can rebound from the impacts of climate change such as more extreme weather, temperatures, and poor air quality.
We need to hear from you!  Please consider reviewing and providing feedback on the Climate Ready Gary report, by completing the short questionnaire.  It should take you no more than 5-7 minutes.
