IRA Advisory

(CHARLESTON, WV) – The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a monumental, forward-looking investment divided into three interwoven baskets: climate action; prescription drug reform; and tax fairness.  Some key provisions of the law are geared toward helping individuals lower their health, energy, and tax bills.  Other initiatives are designed to incentivize communities, businesses, and industries to adopt more efficient and environment-friendly practices.  The law also includes major public investments to strengthen our energy grid and put more clean energy infrastructure into service.
