Committee hears that WKY building-guidelines grant may be restored; Middleton discussed as a potential pilot
Summary
Staff reported that the DOE/WKY sustainable building-guidelines grant appeared to be restored and that the Wisconsin Local Government Climate Coalition may resume work; committee members discussed Middleton piloting implementation and collaborating with Milwaukee's sustainability director.
Kelly reported that county and coalition contacts indicated the WKY (building-guidelines) grant has been restored, but she cautioned that federal funds have shifted before and administrative hurdles remain. The coalition plans to reconvene with partners including Clean Wisconsin, Slipstream and engineering consultants and may consult Milwaukee's sustainability director, Eric Shamberger, about how that city advanced similar work.
Members discussed Middleton volunteering as a pilot site for implementing sustainable building guidelines, noting that the city may be able to require higher-than-code standards only within certain financing or TIF arrangements. Kelly said Middleton could pilot requirements where the city provides funding or in TIF districts, but emphasized more work is needed to design implementable guidelines.
