This is Jon Lesher, Principal Environmental Planner with the Montgomery County Planning Commission answering this question on behalf of Commissioner Arkoosh: Thank you very much for your kind words. We strongly believe that county government should provide leadership and guidance to our stakeholders to help them make responsible decisions. While the county does not have the regulatory authority to require municipalities, businesses, organizations, or individuals to prioritize clean energy we can provide information, highlight success stories from around the region, and lead by example. By doing so, we overcome one of the barriers that may prevent municipalities from participating in clean energy efforts: lack of trusted sources of information. As the county provides information and local success stories, we build trust with our stakeholders and have honest conversations about what is best for their communities.
