Members of the Salt Lake City Council are still going through a process to formally receive the money, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said Tuesday. Salt Lake City's metro area includes communities all over Salt Lake and Tooele counties, according to the EPA. The Environmental Protection Agency awarded Salt Lake City $1 million through its Climate Pollution Reduction Act grant program in May, making the Salt Lake City metropolitan area one of the first among more than 70 areas in the country. Federal environmental officials say Salt Lake and Tooele counties are on the verge of receiving “transformative” grant money that will help reduce pollution and address climate issues within both counties however, local officials are still piecing together how they plan to tap into billions of dollars set aside for projects that aim to reduce air and water pollution.
