How was the Energy and Sustainability Green Ribbon Committee formed?

In 2009, the Board of Selectmen created the Energy and Sustainability Green Ribbon Committee.

“It is the intention of the Selectmen in creating this Committee to provide a mechanism to assist the Board and Town Manager in developing programs and projects to foster energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy generation and sustainability planning. This new committee will gather, study and evaluate information that will help determine various approaches for improving the energy efficiency of operating town and school buildings and vehicles, investigate alternatives energy technologies and identify funding opportunities to help the Town achieve its energy and sustainability related goals.”
