Stockton Rising: A multimillion-dollar effort toward sustainability begins to show results

GRANT KIRKPATRICK, STOCKTON’S Environmental and Sustainability Officer, updated the Stockton City Council at a meeting earlier this month about Stockton Rising, a multimillion dollar project aimed at improving the environment and sustainability in Stockton.

Stockton Rising is a group of projects that are the culmination of community-based organizations and partners working together to make a plan for Stockton’s environment and applying for grants to fund those plans since 2016, according to its 2023 progress report.
