Plan Commission to Explore Green Tier Legacy Community Program at Next Meeting

Part of the agenda for the next Plan Commission meeting (Tuesday, June 25) will include discussion about the Wisconsin Green Tier Legacy Communities program and what that might look like in Gibraltar. Green Tier Legacy Communities is a network of Wisconsin cities, villages and counties focused on initiatives that promote environmental stewardship and economic efficiency. The charter helps municipalities reach their sustainability goals.

The Plan Commission hopes to have representatives from neighboring Green Tier Legacy Communities on hand at the meeting to share their experiences with the programs. A slide show presentation with more information about the program, its benefits and related projects will also be presented. A pdf of that presentation is also available here.

The next Plan Commission Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 25 at 7 p.m. at the Town Center (4097 Main Street).
