The Green Communities Division will hold the first Green Communities Summit on Nov. 22 to discuss innovative energy solutions and share best practices.
The summit will feature presentations on local energy initiatives, policy updates, and opportunities for collaboration. Participants will engage in discussions about strategies to enhance energy efficiency in their communities and help the Commonwealth achieve its 2050 emission reduction goals. Attendees will also celebrate the successes in the 15-year history of Green Communities.
Attendees will include municipal staff and officials, clean energy and climate practitioners, school staff, committee members, and other stakeholders.
The summit will be held at the Devens Conference Center, 31 Andrews Parkway in Devens, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
