La Crosse Leaders Celebrate One-Year Anniversary of Inflation Reduction Act with Expanded Energy Savings Program
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 at 10 a.m.
Steps of La Crosse City Hall
Community leaders and partners will gather to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and highlight new opportunities for La Crosse residents to save money and energy. Thanks to leadership from Mayor Shaudel Washington-Spivey, the City of La Crosse has expanded its no-cost home energy assessments from low-income households to include middle-income residents as well. A household of 1 went from ~60k to 103k annually!
This expansion—supported by federal IRA investments—means more families can access energy-saving upgrades such as insulation, heat pumps, and electrical panel improvements, at little to no upfront cost. Local leaders will also spotlight the urgent timeline for residents to take advantage of available grants and tax credits, including the 25C tax credit set to expire soon.
The event will also preview plans for a new local insulation installation team launching later this year, creating good-paying jobs and ensuring La Crosse families benefit directly from clean energy investments.
The Inflation Reduction Act is the most significant investment in clean energy and climate in U.S. history. In La Crosse, these federal dollars are delivering real results—lower utility bills, healthier homes, and good jobs. By expanding eligibility to middle-income households, La Crosse is ensuring even more residents can take advantage of these opportunities.
