On December 21, 2011 the MA Dept. of Energy Resources (DOER) officially designated the Town of Rowe as a Green Community.
Per Meg Lusardi of MA DOER..." This designation is quite an achievement and reflects the hard work and tireless efforts your community has exhibited in meeting the Green Communities Designation and Grant Program’s five criteria. Having met these criteria, the Town of Rowe is now an energy leader in Massachusetts, poised to reduce its energy costs, improve the local environment and implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects with funding through the Green Communities Designation and Grant Program."
Along with this designation the Town of Rowe has been awarded a grant of $135,725. To receive the grant award, the Town of Rowe submitted a project application on January 27, 2012, proposing how these funds will be spent. We are awaitiing word on our project submittal.
