Medway, Massachusetts, Looks To Become State-Designated ''Green Community''
Medway, Massachusetts, ''is going green in order to save some green,'' reports The Milford Daily News. As part of ''an effort to become more competitive for state grants and save money on utilities,'' Medway is striving to become a state-designated 'green community.'''
Medway must meet several criteria in order to achieve this designation, according to the article. First, Medway ''must revise its zoning bylaws to allow alternative energy generation facilities and renewable energy manufacturing facilities in designated locations.'' It must also develop both an expedited permitting process and a policy that addresses fuel-efficient vehicles. The town ''will have to establish an energy inventory of all municipal buildings and put in place a program to reduce energy use by 20 percent throughout the next five years.'' Finally, Medway must require all residential construction more than 3,000 square feet and all new commercial or industrial construction to reduce energy costs. 1/25/2010
