The City of Longmont created its Sustainability Plan in 2016 to guide actions that make the city a better place to live. The plan works alongside the Envision Longmont Multimodal & Comprehensive Plan to help create a city where everyone can live a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life.
Since 2016, new reports and resolutions, including the Climate Action Recommendations Report, have added to the plan’s original goals. Together, these efforts help Longmont protect the environment, prepare for future challenges, and build a healthier, more sustainable city for everyone.
