Clean Air Illinois

Like municipalities and counties, state and federal government departments and agencies share many characteristics with businesses and other institutions. Government agencies like the General Services Administration and Center Management Services employ many individuals and own, maintain, and improve multiple buildings and properties. These government bodies also have the opportunity to broaden their impact through leading by example, exercising their regulatory and enforcement authority, and influencing economic development and land use decisions.

State and federal governments can employ all of the applicable strategies embodied in the Clean Air Business, Industries, and Institutions Campaign, as well as enable through legislation and other policies, additional strategies that significantly reduce current and future emission generating activities. Additionally, this campaign can stimulate more intergovernmental partnerships and regional cooperation.
