Despite our current housing crisis, energy insecurity, and affordability concerns, there are solutions for these urgent issues. We can build the housing we need while also securing a resilient, lower-cost energy future by using resources we have right here in our community. We can also preserve the character of our downtown and the integrity of our green spaces by integrating local thermal energy into our town planning and goals.

This workshop will explore how merging the good work underway on housing and other priorities with local energy solutions can help to create more livable, affordable communities. Speakers will share practical solutions and programs that can lower costs, strengthen our town center, and help us achieve many of our shared goals.
