Environmental Stewardship

Goal Statement

Hillsboro is an environmentally sustainable community that takes proactive steps to protect natural assets, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and recover, recycle, and renew resources. Residents, businesses, and community institutions understand the link between economic prosperity and environmental health and work collaboratively to maintain a thriving city for future generations.

This focus area includes tracking of 20+ indicators of the health of our environment and use of natural resources. Annual reports will continue to track these indicators in order to inform action. Additionally, a committee comprised of key stakeholders will continue to lead the implementation of environmental stewardship actions.
