6:35 Municipal Climate Mitigation and Resilience Projects
The Calais Planning Commission is about to begin work on a new 8-year Town Plan which will envision how Calais would like to grow and develop in the future. They have invited the community to engage in a town-wide discussion about this at the Town Hall at 1:00 on Sunday, February 18. To help inform this discussion, the Selectboard has invited Sam Lash, a planner with the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission, to speak with us about resources and programs available to help municipalities design and implement programs to facilitate climate mitigation and resilience. Sam will speak about resources available for carbon sequestration, energy efficiency and fuel switching for both buildings and Hwy. Dept. fleets, floodplain and wetland restoration, and other topics. Given the Selectboard's interest in affordable housing, Sam will focus some of her presentation on how these resources could facilitate planning for smart growth, such as sewer funding to enable denser housing.
