Concord Climate Committee directed consultants to develop governance language for the town's revised Climate Action and Resilience Plan. Chair Brad Dye led discussion identifying four governance priorities: formalizing climate considerations in decision-making, addressing the sustainability director position, implementing climate budgeting processes, and reviewing ESG principles. The committee also received an update on the proposed 300 Baker Avenue solar project, where Concord Municipal Light Plant rejected a Power Purchase Agreement but remains engaged on an alternative lease arrangement; solar projects must be completed by December 31, 2027 to qualify for federal tax credits.
