Biddeford Climate Action Plan
The City of Biddeford has proudly adopted its first Climate Action Plan, a forward-thinking roadmap aimed at reducing carbon emissions and effectively responding to climate-related events. This plan is the result of a three-year collaborative effort led by the Biddeford Climate Task Force, with vital input from residents and support from the Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC) along with regional community partners. This comprehensive strategy marks a significant step towards sustainable development and resilience in our community.
