GREENSBORO — Greensboro is seeking public input about making the city more "green."
The Community Sustainability Council is hosting two public meetings to get residents' feedback on what priorities and strategies should be included in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy report. That report will serve as the city's energy plan.
The meetings will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. July 13 in the Nussbaum Room of the Central Library at 219 N. Church St.
The city will submit the report to the Department of Energy as part of its application for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The city is seeking funding from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program.
