On January 24, 2022, the Town Board of Trustees approved the Sustainability Action Plan. This dynamic, adaptable plan was developed by Town staff and the Advisory Committee for Environmental Sustainability (ACES) in collaboration with dozens of community partners.
Over 100 actions are proposed within this plan to curb the impacts of climate change and other negative impacts to our health and environment, as well as help our community adapt to the changes we are already experiencing.
This plan was published during a time of transformation in Superior. Downtown Superior was in the making with approximately 1,400 new residences, vast economic opportunity, and 42 new acres of outdoor recreation and open space. Each day brings new challenges to our community, from the need to find affordable housing solutions to supporting a resilient COVID-19 recovery. And the impacts of climate change are no longer a future prospect, but something Superior residents are experiencing firsthand. Wildfires, drought, excessive high-heat days, poor air quality, a decline in ecosystem health, and many other climate change related impacts threaten the health, happiness and quality of life of all Superior residents.
