The FET was born following passage
of the resolution that was passed at the 2007 Franconia Town Meeting
expressing Franconians' belief that climate change caused by greenhouse
gas emissions must be actively addressed at both the National
and local levels.* With the encouragement of the Franconia
Select Board, the Core Group of the Franconia Energy Team came
together through the second half of 2007.
* Clean Air - Cool Planet - Town
Meeting Campaign.
The Regional Projects the Franconia
Energy Team undertook in partnership with the Town Energy Committees
of Bethlehem and Littleton, and individuals representing Easton
and Sugar Hill, in April and November 2008, were so successful
the Team chose to make that coalition permanent and expandable
as the Ammonoosuc Regional Energy Team.
The Franconia Energy Team worked
in close relationship with the Franconia Select Board. This Ammonoosuc
Regional Energy Team will continue to work in close relationship
with the Franconia Select Board, but also with other regional
Town Select Boards through Team members representing their Town.
