Renew Rocktown works collaboratively at the intersection of environmental sustainability, social equity, and smart economic development.
We believe that individuals and communities have the power to create a world that enables people and planet to thrive.
We facilitate projects, programs, and campaigns that recognize the interconnectedness of our transportation, housing, food, health, waste, land use, agricultural, and energy needs.
