SOUTHBURY ACHIEVES SILVER AWARD FROM SUSTAINABLE CT
Sustainable CT, a statewide, voluntary certification program that supports sustainability best practices in Connecticut municipalities, announced that Southbury achieved Sustainable CT’s Silver Certification again this year. The silver medal reflects advanced initiatives in sustainable practices and community engagement. This achievement highlights a proactive approach to sustainability and an extraordinary commitment to equity. All certified communities will be celebrated at Sustainable CT’s 2025 Awards Celebration on October 28 at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam.

SUSTAINABLE CT GREEN HOMES TOUR
Sustainable Southbury has arranged a tour of four green homes on October 25, 2025. Two were built to be "Net Zero", meaning they produce all the power they need. Each home showcases a distinct approach to achieving "Net Zero." Both were built to enable the owners to live a greener lifestyle and feature sustainable features beyond energy conservation. One was built to be an age-in-place retirement home.
The other two homes feature energy-efficiency improvements the owners made over time to become more energy independent and reduce the amount of energy the home uses.
The event is free, but you must register for a ticket here.
