Reminder: Planning Board Review

Hi Everyone,
 
Just a reminder that we are on the agenda at the Planning Board's workshop meeting tomorrow night at 7pm.  I sent the Energy/Sustainability chapter for the Master Plan to them a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully everyone will have reviewed it.  (I need to read it again to refresh my memory!)
 
See you at Town Hall!

Hi All,
 
I sent out the Master Plan chapter to the Planning Board for their review before our meeting with them on 10/7.  Just wanted to share the response from Paul below.

Thank you, I will read it with interest---we just put a 103Kw Solar array on our Industrial building in Tewksbury Mass and are excited to see others working towards alternative energy. Anything we all can do to conserve our resources for future generations is more important than can be measured economically. Hopefully your work will help expedite some movement in our town and I hope other towns across America are doing likewise. We need to leave our children's children a Planet that can still sustain a comfortable life for all.

    Best Paul DiMaggio

Subject: Energy/Sustainability Chapter for Master Plan

Hi Everyone,
 
The Atkinson Energy Committee, through a grant, worked with the RPC to develop a chapter for our Master Plan update which addresses energy conservation and efficiency and sustainability.  Attached is our rough draft of the chapter.  We are scheduled to meet with you at your workshop meeting on October 7th.  I am hoping that you will have time to review the chapter before the meeting so that we can have a productive discussion.
 
Many thanks for your time!

Master Plan Chapter

Hi All,
 
Did anyone have the chance to review the Master Plan chapter.  I'm sending it out today, as is, unless I hear something (anything) from someone.
 
Michelle
 
P.S.  Judy - sorry I realized I didn't send this to you.

Library Available Nov 7th

Hi All,
 
Just got an email from Diane that the library is available on Sat, Nov. 7th.  I told her we'd take it.  Please let me know if you have any concerns regarding the date.  Judy, I know you can't attend, but we will need much help promoting this event if you don't mind helping that area.
 
Michelle

Reminder

Hi Everyone,
 
Just a reminder - please send your comments on the Master Plan Chapter to me by tonight, if possible.

Our Atk Energy Event

Hi All,
 
Unfortunately, neither the library or the community center are available on either Sat from 10 -12.  We could use the CC on the 11/14 if we moved the event from 9-11. (There's a shower there at noon.)  Sunday, 11/15 is also open at the CC.  The library is open on Saturday, 10/31.
 
What do you think?

Subject: NH Climate Change Action Plan Presentation in Sandonw 9/29

How much energy is NH using?   Where is it going?   How can we reduce the State's energy consumption?   How has NH's climate changed?   What is the cost of that change?   What can we do?

Presentation on NH Climate Change Action Plan Tuesday 9/29/09 7:00 PM Sandown Town Hall "Here in New Hampshire, we ship in nearly 90% of all energy sources that drive our economy. We use these resources to generate electricity, heat our homes and businesses, and power our vehicles. Due to this reliance on external energy sources, New Hampshire is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in the global energy markets. Our state is also heavily reliant on our rich natural resources to sustain our economy. These critical forest lands, rivers and lakes, and coastal areas are threatened by the current and future effects of climate change. As a result, there is real and growing concern within New Hampshire regarding the significant detrimental effects that our current pattern of energy use and a changing climate could have on our local economy and on the quality of our lives.   The NH Climate Change Action Plan, submitted to Governor Lynch in March 2009, presents a chance to address both of these vulnerabilities while creating new opportunities to grow the New Hampshire economy. Come hear Chris Skoglund, an Energy and Transportation Analyst with the NH Dept. of Environmental Services provide an overview of this Plan, which represents the thinking and recommendations of one of the largest, most diverse collections of leading New Hampshire citizens in many years." Learn What the State of New Hampshire is Doing to Reduce Energy Consumption and in protecting our Natural Resources Have questions this is a chance to ask them. This presentation is being sponsored by the Rockingham Planning Commission and hosted by the Sandown Conservation Commission. Please contact the Sandown Conservation Commission at information@sandowncc.org or (603) 887-5589 with any questions.
