Franklin sustainability task force meeting

On Monday, Novmber 24, I attended the meeting of the Franklin Sustainability Task Force and learned where they are and how they are moving. Alderman Ken Moore hosted the event and there was much discussion about how they were going to move forward.
They have divided into several committees and much to my surprise, I found that I was listed on the Mobility committee. I am pleased in that it shows that Ken sees the value in partnering with surrounding cummumities to solve problems that can't be done alone. Movility/Transportation is surely one of those issues. I share that view and looking forward to working with Franklin in the future on this exciting project.
If my efforts to create a committee in Brentwood are sucsessful, I will be calling on Franklin and other communities to do the same.
It was a good meeting. Things are moving along.

Meeting with Brentwood Chamber of Commerce Sustainability and Energy Efficienct task force.

I Met with the newly formed Chamber of Commerce's Sustainability and Energy Efficiency task force this morning. A good mix of businesses represented there. They see the need to foster this effort in order to make Brentwood a desirable community for business and living. Most of those present live in Brentwood
Mark Cleveland, who is co-chair along with Marshall Shumate passed out some outlines of aims and actions that the group might entertain.
High on the list is a steady series of educational events to make people aware of what needs to be done and what to do about it.
I look forward to meeting and working with these people in the future.
