Special Town Meeting is approaching next month, and the Energy Committee has been busy! We are sponsoring three Articles on the docket, all to further the Town of Pembroke's goal to become a Green Community.
If you have not heard about the Green Communities Act, take a look here: http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2008/Chapter169
This designation would make it clear that Pembroke has made a committment to energy awareness and conservation. It also entitles the Town to apply for grant money for funding energy conservation projects.
Hanover and Kingston, the only Green Communities so far on the South Shore, applied for and received over $300,000 for their various energy efficiency projects.
Please learn about the Green Communities Act, and we will look forward to seeing you at Town Meeting!!
