Menlo Park to receive Green Cities award
Menlo Park will be recognized for its progress in reducing emissions from gas appliances, earning the Green Cities Award from Peninsula Clean Energy.
The award will be presented at Sustainable San Mateo County’s 27th annual celebration on March 25.
City officials say Menlo Park was the first in Northern California to address greenhouse gas emissions from gas-burning appliances in both new and existing buildings. Updated building codes require new systems to support electric heating and cooling, while the city is also transitioning government facilities away from gas and offering programs to help residents install electric appliances.
“Menlo Park’s decisive action demonstrated political courage and strategic leadership that helped create a clear path for other cities to follow,” Peninsula Clean Energy CEO Shawn Marshall said in a March 12 press release announcing the award.
