Pomona's Vision for a Sustainable Future

The City of Pomona (City) Green Plan is designed to be more than a reference document. It is designed to evolve with the City as new technologies, new economics, and new priorities redefine what is feasible. The core of the Green Plan is the integration of sustainable design into all aspects of the City’s operations. The Green Plan includes sections dedicated to the following topics:

Community strategies for land use and community design
Community and municipal green building strategies
Community and municipal strategies for efficient transportation
Renewable energy and low-carbon fuels
Open space and carbon storage and offset strategies
Water and wastewater management
Waste reduction and recycling strategies
Climate friendly purchasing
Promoting community and individual actions

The Green Plan reflects several months of research, data analysis, interviews, and writing by dozens of City staff and consultants. The City of Pomona Green Plan represents a new way of thinking about how the City consumes energy, water, and other resources. An notable topic missing from the list above is energy efficiency. Due to a funding synergy, the energy efficiency element of this Green Plan was developed concurrently and under separate contract. It has been included here as the Energy Action Plan (EAP) (included herein as Appendix B). The EAP overlaps with a number of the other Green Plan topics and is an integral element to this comprehensive Plan. The implementation strategies found in the EAP can be adapted to suit any number of the opportunities found throughout this Plan. This Plan is a living document. As the City goes forward adapting, implementing, and integrating its “greening” activities, this Plan will inevitably need to be revisited, updated, and adapted to identify ever-refined and more environmentally and financially beneficial sustainability initiatives that will serve the City into the future.
