[Massplanners] Net Zero Opt-In

[Carolyn Britt]

I have been living these questions for the last couple months, and am 
involved with the Zero Carbon folks who have produced an incredible 
amount of information to address your questions.

1. Depends on your town, but the Ipswich Selectboard did not place it on 
the warrant (yet) as they wanted some questions answered regarding costs 
to builders/residents, who else has adopted, and what are the conditions 
under which solar is required? I have drafted these and we will likely 
move to the next stage next week.

2. Nineteen communities have adopted, only 4 of which have already gone 
into effect - Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, and Brookline. Twenty 
more are currently considering adoption. If successful, these 
communities will equal about 24% of the MA population (yes, Boston has 
adopted it)

3. Call me for more detail. 978-356-9881.

Best wishes on this....
