Arlington continues to be GREEN!
Earlier in July, the Town of Arlington was informed by the Commonwealth's Green Communities Division of a grant award in the amount of $200,188 to fund various energy efficiency projects in Town.  This award is the culmination of much cooperation and effort between the Board of Selectmen, Town Meeting, Sustainable Arlington and Town staff.  This cooperation and effort is what earned Arlington designation as a "Green Community" and the corresponding opportunity to apply for grant funds that was only made available to municipalities earning the designation.  Arlington's grant award includes funding for LED Streetlight Conversion - The Town has been awarded funding to begin the conversion of the current High Pressure Sodium streetlights to LED streetlights which are more energy efficient and project to reduce energy consumption by up to 50%.
 
Having earned the "Green Community" designation as well as the grant award, the Town looks forward to continuing its work to find ways of reducing energy consumption and increasing overall energy efficiency.
