Our Mission:

Provide vision, information, and proposals to the Town through the Board of Selectman enabling and promoting the application of green and sustainable technology on current and future Town buildings, property, and services as well as residential, commercial and industrial buildings and projects in Westborough.

Current Initiative -- Qualify Westborough as a 'Green Community'

The Green Technology Advisory Group is working to fulfill the 5 criteria to qualify the Town as a 'Green Community.' As a 'Green Community,' Westborough would be eligible to apply for grants from a $10 million pool for energy efficiency projects. As part of the qualification process, the town would have to develop a plan to lower the energy costs of town buildings, schools, street lights, other public facilities, and official vehicle fuel usage by 20% over 5 years and upgrade the town fleet to more fuel efficient vehicles, as needed.

Completed Work:

Lighting upgrades have been made to many of the Town buildings and schools which will contribute significant energy cost savings as well as reduce the Town's energy consumption by more than 84,000 kwh per year.
