CAAP and announcements
Centre Region Climate Action and Adaptation Plan
I'm please to announce that the draft Centre Region Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) is available for review. At the link below, you will also find a form to submit your comments and information on the municipal meetings where the CAAP will be discussed.
The draft CAAP can be found here: https://www.crcog.net/caap
For optimal viewing of the CAAP report: Download the file to an Adobe pdf and ‘Open with system viewer’. The pdf is best viewed in two page view with a cover page.
The CAAP provides a framework for the community to begin reducing its greenhouse (GHG) emissions and adapting to a changing climate. It will serve as a guide for governmental entities, residents, businesses, and community organizations to take an active part in the transition to a low carbon future, prepare for the impacts of climate change, and create a healthier and more prosperous community.
What's Next? Comments will be reviewed throughout October and in November the CAAP will be updated. The hope then is for the 32 elected officials (General Forum) of State College Borough and College, Ferguson, Halfmoon, Harris, and Patton Townships to consider adopting the CAAP at its November 22, 2021 meeting.
