The Tompkins County Community is invited to help shape future County energy policy. Weigh in on the proposed policies and actions of the draft Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Element to the County Comprehensive Plan. The Tompkins County Planning Department invites you to attend one of four upcoming discussions about the new Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Element to the County Comprehensive Plan. This Element will help shape future County energy policy for the next ten years. We want to hear whether County residents agree that the proposed policies and actions of the Element are the best use of limited funds to address energy and greenhouse gas emissions in our community. The proposed policies and actions are based on a four-pronged approach to energy: reduce demand, increase efficiency, transition to renewables, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. Meetings will be held on four evenings this fall at different sites around the County: · September 17th at 6:30 pm at the Ulysses Town Hall, 10 Elm St., Trumansburg · September 22nd at 6:30 pm at the Danby Town Hall, 1830 Danby Rd · September 24th at 6:30 pm at the Tompkins County Public Library, Borg Warner Room · October 1st at 6:30pm at the Dryden Town Hall, 93 E. Main St., Dryden The draft Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Element identifies the critical issues; presents existing conditions; propo ses a community strategy; and offers potential policy and action items for the County government and its partner agencies to address energy and greenhouse gas emissions.
