Summary
In 2016, the City of Longmont updated its Sustainability Plan to focus on actions that can be implemented within the next five to ten years to help promote environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic vitality for all residents and businesses of Longmont. The Plan includes actions that will be led by internal City departments to enhance sustainability, but also emphasizes involvement of other partner organizations, the business community, and Longmont residents in creating and maintaining a thriving, sustainable community. The purpose of this Sustainability Plan is to clearly articulate Longmont’s sustainability vision and objectives, establish meaningful targets, and define actionable strategies to support achievement of the vision. It is intended to serve as a tool for City of Longmont leaders and departments to guide decision-making as it relates to prioritizing projects, implementing programs, and communicating and interacting with the public. This Sustainability Plan is also intended to be used by the Longmont community as a guide for how to take action to enhance sustainability at all levels – individual, household, business, neighborhood, and community.
