County to announce sustainability town hall; CHARM center and past LEED work highlighted
Summary
Commissioners said a sustainability-focused town hall will be scheduled within one to two weeks, noted DeKalb's earlier LEED certifications under past leadership, and described CHARM (Center for Hard to Recycle Materials) as a county recycling resource.
DeKalb County officials said the county will announce a dedicated town hall on sustainability in the next one to two weeks and highlighted existing infrastructure and past initiatives to support the new office. A commissioner credited earlier leadership for bringing LEED certifications and other sustainability practices to county buildings.
"So now we are going back where we started, and we're going to build back and build back better," a commissioner said, referencing previous county investments in low-flow fixtures, interior energy efficiency and a large electric-vehicle fleet. The commissioner also described CHARM (Center for Hard to Recycle Materials) as a resource for items such as tires and said the sustainability officer would have a standalone day for outreach and engagement.
Officials said they will announce the town hall and provide more public engagement opportunities as materials and plans are finalized; no date or location for the town hall was given at the briefing.
