The Town of Groton has developed its first town‑wide Climate Action and Resilience Plan. This plan will help Groton prepare for climate change while protecting the people, places, and resources that make our community special. The full draft document is now available for public viewing, and the Town is accepting public comments from May 26 through June 12.
This page serves as a hub to review the draft, submit your feedback, and find updates on the Climate‑Ready Groton Plan. To view this page in another language, please click the “Select Language” button in the top left corner.
Across Groton, residents are seeing the effects of climate change, including heavier rain, flooding, rising sea levels, and hotter summers. These changes affect our neighborhoods, roads, homes, natural areas, and daily life. Climate‑Ready Groton brings together community input and technical studies to address these challenges in practical and local ways.
The planning process began with studies to better understand climate risks and sources of greenhouse gas pollution in Groton. Using this information, the Town developed clear goals and actions to reduce emissions and build resilience for the future.
The Climate‑Ready Groton Plan focuses on five main areas:
Buildings and Energy: Focuses on saving energy and increasing clean energy use.
Community Preparedness and Resilience: Focuses on keeping people safe during storms, heat waves, and other emergencies.
Infrastructure and Land Use: Focuses on roads, buildings, and planning decisions that reduce risk from flooding and other climate impacts.
Natural Resources and Consumption: Focuses on protecting natural areas and reducing waste.
Transportation and Mobility: Focuses on cleaner transportation options and safer ways to get around Town.
The public comment window closed on June 12. All feedback collected from residents, business owners, and stakeholders has been synthesized to refine the final document.
The final draft of the Climate Action and Resilience Plan will be presented to the Town Council at an upcoming July meeting. Once a specific date and agenda are finalized, details on how to view or attend the meeting will be posted here.
