In October 2008, the City Council unanimously adopted the Claremont Sustainable City Plan including the minor changes described in the staff report. Several Task Force members and citizens spoke in support of the Plan, and the comments from City Council were very positive. The City Council expressed its appreciation for all the hard work of the Task Force.
Future generations are likely to see this day as a turning point for the City - the day we began getting serious about sustainability.
Congratulations on this historic achievement!
