The Town of Arlington Clean Energy Future Committee (CEFC) invites community members to a public forum on the opt-in Specialized Stretch Energy Code, which is the subject of a warrant article (number TBD) at this spring’s Annual Town Meeting. The event will be held on Wednesday, March 1 from 7:00-8:30pm on Zoom.
Please register for the Zoom event here: https://town-arlington-ma-us.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwpceytpjouHNVQsHLcEVrqgQY-vYff4b1n. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
This warrant article introduces to Town Meeting the choice of whether or not to pass the Specialized Stretch Energy Code. Also known as the Municipal Opt-In Code, the Specialized Stretch Energy Code is a new appendix to the Stretch Energy Code (which Arlington Town Meeting adopted in 2010 in order to receive Green Communities designation) that would require that new construction be consistent with achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in MA by 2050.
