Sustainable Poolesville Certified Again!

The Environmental Finance Center at the University of Maryland announced that the Town of Poolesville was one of 17 Maryland municipalities honored at the Sustainable Maryland Awards Ceremony at the Maryland Municipal League’s annual Fall Conference last Thursday. The Town was certified at the Bronze level. Sustainable Poolesville Chairman Don Street is pictured accepting the award.

“The Town of Poolesville Commissioners, our residents, and our surrounding community are incredibly proud of our citizen-driven Sustainable Poolesville committee,” said Mayor James Brown. “The recognition they have received from Sustainable Maryland for their hard work and positive environmental initiatives in our region is fully justified, respected, and appreciated. We commend Sustainable Maryland for its leadership and guidance, and we look forward to our continued partnership and mutual successes.”

“The 17 towns achieving certification this year represent the leading edge of Maryland’s sustainability initiatives at the local level,” said Mike Hunninghake, Director of the Sustainable Maryland program. “Their efforts, and those of many towns and cities across the state, collectively move the needle in the right direction as we grapple with making communities climate-resilient, healthy, and economically viable places to live for current and future generations. Sustainable Maryland is proud to support their vital work, which serves as a beacon of inspiration for other communities.”
