| Title | Environmental community decision making in urban, suburban, and sub-suburban communities |
| Summary | The city of Hastings, in partnership with Partners in Energy and Xcel Energy, is undergoing the process of creating a long-term Energy Action Plan. This plan will consist of relevant social, economic and environmental issues in a sub-suburban city of the Minneapolis and Saint Paul Metropolitan area in Minnesota. To further understand the necessary contents of this Energy Action Plan, this thesis will detail community decision making processes, characteristics of the analyzed communities, and previously established Energy Action Plans. Previous Energy Action Plans created in Minnesota, as well as established literature, provide information that prove to be useful when determining the most impactful attributes of a successful long-term plan. In collaboration with current residents of Hastings, employees of the city of Hastings, and the local energy provider, this thesis will hopefully act as a useful resource to communities with both urban and rural characteristics when trying to establish long-term environmental goals. |
