Supervisor Wilson's Work on Air Quality Issues Recognized
The Western Riverside Council of Governments has awarded Supervisor Roy Wilson the Norton Younglove Air Quality Award, recognizing his achievements in improving air quality in our region. Additionally, Wilson was presented with a formal resolution from Riverside County's representatives in the California State Legislature, applauding his career in public service.
“Improving air quality in Riverside County is vital for the physical, environmental and economic health of the Inland Empire and the desert region,” said Supervisor Wilson. “While it’s an honor to receive this award, there is still much work to be done to clean the air. I look forward to keeping air quality at the top of the region’s environmental and economic agendas.
Wilson has served on the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District since 1987. He currently serves as AQMD’s Vice Chairman.
The Board of Supervisors recently approved Supervisor Wilson’s contribution of $25,000, from the Fourth District community improvement designation funds, towards the Salton Sea Authority.
“As the Salton Sea evaporates, air quality issues stemming from the dust pose one of the greatest threats to our quality of life in the CoachellaValley,” Supervisor Wilson said. “It is imperative that we act now to protect our desert as a world-class destination for future generations to enjoy.”
