The Town was officially designated as a Green Community on December 27, 2018. The process to become designated as a Green Community began through the Town Meeting authorization to adopt the Stretch Energy Code through Article 3 on September 6, 2017. Additionally, the Office of the Town Manager worked with the Board of Selectmen to adopt a Fuel Efficient Vehicle Policy and Energy Reduction Plan for town operations. This work led to the Town’s application for designation as a Green Community in October of 2018. The Town is dedicated to reducing energy consumption by 20% by the year 2023.
