BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Sustainability Action Plan of 2019 was the town's first comprehensive guide to advancing sustainability and creating long-term goals in areas such as energy use, transportation, waste/recycling/composting, education and outreach. This five-year plan was recently updated to build on and expand the goals included in the original plan, and to better capture the evolving sustainability landscape within Erie and across Colorado. The 2026 Sustainability Action Plan seeks to advance sustainability programs and initiatives and will serve as a guiding document to be used by the Town to inform decision making for future sustainability planning and programming. The plan will focus on the key topics: Buildings and Energy, Transportation and Mobility, Waste and Materials Diversion, Nature-Based Solutions, Education and Outreach.
