Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Alexandria public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Green Building Plan and Energy Efficiency Standards
The commission adopted an ambitious new Green Building Plan to cut carbon emissions and combat climate change by setting strict energy use intensity (EUI) targets and renewable energy requirements for new developments.
Environmental Regulation
Alexandria just banned gas-powered leaf blowers, meaning everyone with a yard and local landscaping crews are going to need to swap their gear for electric alternatives. It's a big shift to cut down on noise and pollution in our neighborhoods.
Sewer Infrastructure Project
Alexandria is hosting an open house on October 21 at the William Ramsay Rec Center to show off plans for the Holmes Run Sanitary Sewer Armoring Project. Drop by to check out the blueprints, grill city staff with questions, and give your two cents.
