Historic Bronzeville Sets Sights On Green Tech Innovation To Spur Economic Development

If your neighborhood has historic disinvestment, few grocery stores and you don’t have a car, you might have to take two buses just to get the food you need. A new initiative in Bronzeville is hoping to bridge this gap with an app that calls an electric rideshare vehicle to your door, bringing green technology to the neighborhood and addressing entrenched problems. Reset talks to Paula Robinson, managing member at Bronzeville Partners LLC, and Billy Davis, general manager at Jitney EV, to talk about this initiative and how intentional workforce development is essential in making sure South Side residents benefit from the transition to a green economy.
