Green Communities Assistance - CMRPC Green Communities Assistance In 2014, the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) began providing technical assistance to Central Massachusetts communities seeking to increase energy efficiency in their municipal buildings, facilities, and schools through the Green Communities program, overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER).
The Green Communities grant program provides municipalities with financial and technical support to municipalities that pledge to reduce municipal energy use by twenty percent over five years, including grant funding for energy efficiency and clean energy projects.
Towns and cities see additional benefits from reducing their energy use such as lower energy costs, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, a healthier environment, and strengthening of local economies.
Some of the benefits include: Developing zoning amendments As-of-right siting – renewable energy / alternative energy Energy baseline / energy reduction plans Energy-efficient policies Purchasing fuel-efficient vehicles Minimizing life-cycle costs CMRPC offers full technical assistance and administrative support to communities in the region that are or would like to be a part of the Green Communities grant program and earn impactful municipal energy efficiency grants.
CMRPC utilizes other grant funding to support our work, so this assistance is at no cost to the municipality.
