Solar Pilot for Low-to-Moderate Income Residents Nears Completion

Increasing clean solar energy is critical to achieving the city’s Climate Action Plan goals. The City partnered with Solar United Neighbors [ https://solarunitedneighbors.org/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] to offer a pilot program for 17 low-to-moderate income households. The pilot is nearing completion, with qualified households receiving four kilowatt solar systems and a backup battery. The program accounts for 30-40% of a household’s energy to help lower energy costs for the city’s most vulnerable residents while helping Columbus meet its Climate Action Plan goals. The City plans to use lessons learned from the pilot to improve and shape future program design.

Help Shape Columbus’ Urban Forest: Comment on the Tree Technical Manual

Tree planting AF 24'

One of the most significant actions recommended in Columbus’ Urban Forestry Master Plan is to improve regulations to protect and preserve trees in Columbus. The city is moving forward to improve these regulations over the past few years, passing a Public Tree Code regulation, which included* **a technical manual* that serves as the rules and regulations for the city’s public trees.

Columbus Recreation and Parks is now updating the Tree Technical Manual. These minor revisions improve definitions, clarify when to use tree tags versus Tree IDs, expand protection options and simplify mitigation guidance. We want your feedback! Click here [ https://www.columbusufmp.org/tree-manual-review.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] to review the revised manual and share your comments by July 31.
