Going Green: AOBA Advises Local Communities on Sustainability Policies


AOBA provided comments to the Alexandria City Council last month regarding a draft environmental charter, intended to help define the city’s commitment to sustainability and provide direction for a set of “essential” sustainability principles linked with the City’s 2015 Strategic Plan.  The draft charter outlines proposed guiding principles for City Council action related to land use and open space, water quality, air quality, transportation, energy, green building, solid waste, environmental health and emerging environmental threats.
