| Governor Deval Patrick designated Arlington, as one of the
Commonwealth's first official "Green Communities." |
|
Governor Deval Patrick designated Arlington, as one of the
Commonwealth's first official "Green Communities." This is a distinct
recognition by the Commonwealth that the Town of Arlington is at the forefront
of reducing energy usage and emissions through energy efficiency and reduction
initiatives.
"The designation recognizes all that the Town has already
done to demonstrate its commitment to being "green," said Town
Manager Brian Sullivan. "It also puts the Town in the position to further
reach energy reduction goals, through access to State grant dollars for green
energy projects."
The Town met all five clean energy benchmarks set by the program,
including the recent adoption of the energy-saving building "stretch
code" voted by Town Meeting.
Working with Sustainable Arlington, the Town is planning to apply
for projects that will reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency. The
grant application is intended to include:
- Request for Funding to begin converting High Pressure Sodium
streetlights to LED streetlights.
- Upgrade of Energy Management System at the Hardy School.
- Replacement of Steam Traps in Arlington High School's heating
system.
The Green Communities designation makes Arlington, along with 34
other municipalities in the state, eligible for $8.1 million in grants for
local renewable power and energy efficiency projects. The projects promise to
create green jobs and advance both municipal and state clean energy goals.

about the Green Communities program here.
