The city of Valdosta wants your input on energy efficiency.

According to a press release from Sementha Mathews on 14 April 2011:

Valdosta Develops Strategy for Continued Energy Conservation

…

The final activity that is underway is the completion of an Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS) to help Valdosta effectively
manage its use of energy resources. As part of this effort, the community’s
help is being requested to develop the best strategy possible for the city.
The EECS will take the form of a report to the city, helping us decide what
we want to achieve and then providing a strategy for getting us there. In
particular, the EECS provides guidance for future decisions to make sure our
choices reflect a smart and sustainable energy policy. This includes
potential projects and activities that the city can undertake to improve our
use of energy resources.

YOU CAN HELP!

“We’re hoping to tap into the creative ideas of the Valdosta community to
help make this a plan that works for the city,” said Mayor John J. Fretti.
“Our project website, located at
www.energyvaldosta.com, provides an easy and effective way to provide input,
and we will, of course, accept written comments sent to City Hall, at P.O.
Box 1125, Valdosta, Georgia 31603.”

The website contains links to two brief questionnaires. One provides an
easy way to suggest projects for inclusion in the EECS. The second asks
about goals that should be included in the EECS. To keep the project
moving, responses to these questionnaires are requested by May 20, 2011.
There is also a contact link on the website that can be used to ask specific
questions or make additional recommendations. The EECS will be developed
during the summer months, and a draft document presented to the City Council
in the fall. Final adoption is anticipated prior to year’s end.

Citizens may submit questions about the survey via
www.energyvaldosta.com,
and by clicking the
“Email Questions and Comments” link on the left side of the page. For
additional information, contact Public Information Officer Sementha Mathews
at (229) 259-3548.

Hm,
