Energy committee seeks better access to town comprehensive plan to advance climate goals
Summary
Members said the comprehensive plan contains explicit energy and resilience goals; they asked the administrator for printed pages and to use the plan as a reference when briefing the Select Board and pursuing grants.
Committee members said Harwichs recently approved comprehensive plan includes language committing the town to address climate change and sustainable development, and they asked for a printed copy so the committee can isolate and use the plans energy sections. One member quoted portions of the plan as evidence that voters have endorsed climate priorities.
The chair said the committee will use pages of the comprehensive plan to remind officials that the public has repeatedly approved climate-related goals. Town Administrator Jim Mulcahy agreed to provide a paper copy and to help identify the pages relevant to energy and resilience so committee members can prepare a concise briefing for the Select Board.
