Canton seeks resident input on climate action and sustainability goals

CANTON − Canton officials are asking residents to help prioritize the city’s climate action and sustainability goals.

The city has created a 16-question survey for people who live or work in Canton to share how climate change may have impacted them and which areas they believe Canton should address. The survey can be accessed online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/cantonclimate. It will remain open through Aug. 31.

Canton is developing a climate action and sustainability plan that officials say will help Canton prepare for and reduce the impacts of local climate change and help with federal funding applications.

“The way we care for and maintain our environment today directly impacts the neighborhoods we leave for tomorrow,” Canton Mayor William V. Sherer II said in a news release. “By working together, we can create a sustainable Canton that future generations will be proud to call home.”
