Green & Sustainable Community

The City Council of West Sacramento set as a high priority in their 2008 Policy Agenda the requirement for development of a Green and Sustainable Community Strategy.  Commitment to require development of a strategy is a strong message that the Council believes natural resources are limited and that their use should be managed so they are available for future generations.   A Green and Sustainable Community Strategy is one that looks at the needs of the community, services provided and the delivery system utilized.  Taking a close look at these components will allow Council to balance the economic and environmental effects of City-provided services.
