The Green Communities Designation and Grant Program, is an initiative of the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) that supports and rewards communities that meet certain clean energy goals established by DOER. In addition to receiving the title of “Green Community,” a city or town that receives this designation is qualified for special energy efficiency, renewable energy initiatives and incentives offered by DOER.
This strategy outlines how to receive a Green Community designation, how to obtain grant funding, as well as ways to demonstrate a public committment to “green” efforts at the local level. Read more.
