A group of concerned citizens hopes to pass an article at the upcoming Annual Town Meeting to establish a Truro Climate Action Committee. The climate is changing and will eventually affect every aspect of Truro and every Truro resident and visitor. We must act now to protect our way of life.
The rise of sea level will impact our beaches, wetlands, and low-lying properties; and it will cause salt intrusion upon our aquifer. Storms, which cause major erosion along our coasts, are expected to be increased in frequency and intensity as climate change worsens.
The petition calls upon the Town to recognize these conditions, and it asks the Select Board to create a new Climate Action Committee to assess Truro's carbon footprint and vulnerability to climate change. Also, it seeks to establish a community-wide mitigation and adaptation program with the goal of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, maximizing energy efficiency, and facilitating adaptation to changing climate conditions.
The full text of the petition can be found here.

ACE Solar has agreed to continue offering Truro homeowners preferred pricing for solar systems through Outer Cape Energize with the goal of reaching 1,000 kilowatts installed in total.

Please complete the contact form at outercapeenergize.org, or contact ACE Solar directly to receive the discount and help the Outer Cape nonprofit community!     More...

Progress continues to be made on the addition of a climate-controlled storage room at the back of the Highland House Museum. Once it is completed this spring, we will be able to store artifacts and works of art at the museum regardless of the weather. Thank you to the CPC, the Town of Truro, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council for providing the funds for this project. You can see pictures of the work in progress on our website. The Highland House Museum will open for the 2019 season on June 1st.
