Our Purpose

to review energy use in the Town of Kent with the objective of determining ways to reduce energy use, and to encourage and establish the use of non or lesser polluting energy sources.

Summary of Projects

The Kent Energy and Environmental Task Force received a grant in 2009 to research the conservation and alternative energy possibilities for making the Kent Town Hall energy-neutral. They shared these findings and created a template that could be applied to other municipal buildings in Kent. They also worked towards providing a "how to" approach for not only the municipal buildings, but also the people and businesses of Kent.
