Planning & Development

• Work with the Office of Sustainability, the Mayor, the City Council and other city departments to coordinate the City’s environmental agenda and provide a level of accountability for the environmental initiatives the City is currently implementing or planning to implement.
• Communicate with the public important developments in the City’s environmental agenda. This will bring an extra level of transparency and accessibility to the City’s progress on important environmental goals.

"We face ongoing pressure to develop all remaining land in town.  To continue our efforts to retain as much of Barrington’s natural vitality as possible, we acquire by gift, conservation easement or purchase (when funds are available) tracts of presently undeveloped land.  We manage this land and concern ourselves with the land’s natural features and with the specific desires of the owners."
