Bridgewater energy committee welcomes new member Will Longo
Summary
The Bridgewater Energy Committee welcomed Will Longo, a longtime Bridgewater resident and environmental policy graduate who said he wants to engage local energy and climate policy. Members outlined upcoming work on grants, codes and outreach to the town manager.
Will Longo, the committee's newly appointed member, introduced himself and described local ties and relevant study and work experience. "I'm a longtime resident of Bridgewater since I've been born," Longo said, adding that he studied environmental science and policy at Fordham and Northeastern and now works at Clean Harbors in environmental compliance.
The committee chair (identified in the transcript only by role) said he was "really pleased you stepped up" and reviewed the committee's near-term priorities, including following up on a Green Communities grant packet, pursuing a specialized energy code ordinance, and meeting with the town manager. The chair also noted a prior member's resignation and invited applications to fill the vacancy.
The committee agreed Longo would help take notes and review packet materials, and planned to schedule a meeting with the town manager in September and an in-person session in October if possible. The chair asked Longo to research geothermal heating regulations in Massachusetts as a near-term assignment; Longo agreed.
