Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee - Budget Work-session: DoE and DPW&T - Apr 23, 2026
The county's Climate Action Plan has sat in draft form for years, partly because the prior administration didn't want to upset the development community over land-use elements. The committee and Dr. Mokoye agreed to form an internal work group to finally adopt it and tackle the remaining five implementation items.
Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee - Jan 22, 2026
The county's climate plan is moving forward: 12 of 17 strategies approved, new resilience hub grants, solar grants of $5,000-$10,000 for residents, and mandatory climate training for county employees. Council members want the final plan finished soon.
