Green Communities update

Post date: Oct 30, 2017 8:42:34 PM

Dear Town Manager Hoch,

I’m pleased to inform you that your town has achieved a major milestone in the Green Communities Program: reducing Williamstown’s energy consumption by at least 20 percent after five years or more as a Green Community. Based on the town’s energy consumption data for FY2016, Williamstown reduced its energy use by 27 percent (24 percent weather-normalized) from its FY2008 baseline year.

This achievement reflects the hard work and tireless efforts your community has exhibited in investing in energy upgrades at municipal facilities and the continued commitment to remaining active in the Green Communities Program. Meeting the 20 percent energy reduction goal is proof of Williamstown’s position as an energy leader in Massachusetts.

Best wishes, and thank you for your continued support!
