Access to the coalition’s services comes at no cost to the city.
PCFO’s listed goals include attracting clean energy partnerships, lowering energy costs for residents, reducing carbon footprints in member communities, and implementing equitable policy solutions related to clean energy.
Oxford’s membership aligns with the city’s overall goals to become more environmentally sustainable and any future project assisted by the coalition will theoretically help council fulfill its promise to get the City to net carbon neutrality by 2045.
Residents and city officials met at Oxford Seniors last Thursday for a public input session on all steps the city has taken and could take in order to achieve that goal.
Currently, Oxford is in contract to build a two-to-three megawatt solar farm on the city’s old landfill; the Butler County Regional Transit Authority is moving ever-closer to breaking ground on a multi-million dollar public transportation hub off of Chestnut Street; and the city will soon have its first ever full-time Climate Sustainability Coordinator once Miami University student Reena Murphy, who has worked with the city for a year as its Climate Graduate intern, starts in her new position this July.
