What will Melrose look like in 30 years?

Imagine it’s 2050 and Melrose has reached its goal to be Net Zero. What does it look like? All (or most) of our buildings, homes, and vehicles run on electricity which comes from an electric grid that is 100% powered by renewable energy generation. Our community-wide greenhouse gas emissions have decreased to zero because we no longer depend on natural gas and oil to heat our homes or on gasoline to fuel our cars. Residents move around Melrose on foot or by bike on roads and streets that safely accommodate all modes of mobility. What else do you see?

As we plan for the next 30 years on how to reach our commitment to be Net Zero by 2050, the City wants to what you think and how we get there. Please use this 5-minute survey by September 27th to share your ideas. All answers are anonymous.
