Description
The Burlington 2030 District, a private/public partnership that supports ongoing local efforts to mitigate climate change, officially launched this week at Union Station in Burlington. The Burlington District is working to reduce building energy consumption, water use and transportation emissions 50% by 2030.

Some of the first property owners and managers to participate in the program include CityPlace Burlington, Champlain College, Burlington School District, University of Vermont Medical Center, Farrell Properties, Nick and Morrissey Development, and Main Street Landing.
Here are the names and titles of the folks participating in the conversation:
Jennifer Green, Sustainability Officer/City of Burlington, Burlington Electric Department
