The same creative energy that guides our artists, writers and musicians also inspires our innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs.
The Sustainable Communities program is designed to help towns design a plan towards creating healthy environmental practices. Our vision is to significantly improve the position of our communities as a competitive business location, proactive to meet future energy needs. Sustainable Communities will help towns implement measures in energy efficiency, transportation, awareness and renewable energy.
