The City of Medford has been committed to environmental preservation, clean energy, and green initiatives for over two decades.
Many of the current projects on this site are led by the Office of Planning, Development, and Sustainability which has recently combined the Offices of Community Development & Energy and Environment. This merger is designed to bring the City’s expertise in sustainability and climate change to all planning, development, and housing projects. It is the goal of the office to ensure a sustainable and thriving Medford for all.
