Clean Wisconsin announced a celebration of the two-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, coming to Madison’s Black Business Hub, 2352 S. Park St., on Wednesday, Aug. 14, from 3–5 p.m.
The Hub, which opened this spring, is a four-story, 80,000-square-foot, center of commerce led by Black business owners and entrepreneurs. Sustainability was a guiding principle in creating the Hub, and Inflation Reduction Act clean energy incentives helped make the vision a reality.

The event will also include food, drinks, and sample beer brewed with climate-friendly Kernza, the world’s first perennial grain crop.
