The Village's Sustainability Plan consultant, Blue Strike, provided an update on the project at the May 19th Environment and Natural Resources Commission meeting. The consultant reviewed findings from engagement thus far, baseline green house gas data, and strategy framework. A copy of the presentation has been uploaded to the project webpage, and may be viewed here.
