Live Green Connecticut, a Sustainable Development Network dedicated to connecting community members to each other and to local initiatives that collectively build a bridge from local efforts to the achievement of collective sustainability goals, recognized the Town of Westport for outstanding county-wide collaboration through participation in the Sustainable Fairfield County working group. The working group connects towns throughout Fairfield County and encourages collaboration, information and resource sharing, and cross-promotion of member programming.

Sustainable Westport represents the Town of Westport at Sustainable Fairfield County meetings. “Participating in the Sustainable Fairfield County working group has provided us with the opportunity to more seamlessly collaborate with other towns and share best practices on various initiatives. We are all working towards the same goals, and are learning and growing together. We are looking forward to continuing our participation in 2023.” shared Johanna Martell, Co-Director of Sustainable Westport.

Dawn Henry, Sustainable Westport’s Electric Vehicle Liaison, attended the recognition ceremony on behalf of Westport. Henry reflected on the experience, “the group has been a great resource for knowledge and best practices that are helping to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, particularly when it comes to things like electric school buses and police fleets as well as the expansion of EV charging.”
