Hillsboro Environmental Sustainability Plan
The Hillsboro Sustainability Task Force (HSTF) worked with a variety of public and private sector partners to develop a new Hillsboro Environmental Sustainability Plan (ESP). While the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan sets a broad road map for building a more sustainable community (including social, economic and broader livability issues), the ESP is specifically focused on stewardship of the environmental goals therein. In this sense, the Environmental Sustainability Plan is essentially a fifth Hillsboro 2035 focus area.
