About

On April 2, 2007 the Town Council and County Commissioners showed their dedication by approving a joint resolution that calls for a 10% reduction of fossil fuel and electricity use by the two government agencies by 2010.
THE GOAL: Reducing electricity and fossil fuel consumption 10 percent each by 2010. This goal specifically targets 10% reduction in electricity use and 10% reduction in fossil fuel use by December 31, 2010, and additionally places great emphasis on recycling and reducing purchasing whenever possible specific to Town and County organizational operations.
