Village of Egg Harbor is a Green Tier Legacy Community


 Green Tier is a voluntary program that recognizes and rewards environmental performance "that voluntarily exceeds legal requirements related to health, safety and the environment resulting in continuous improvement in this state's environment, economy, and quality of life."
 
Resolution 2017-17 was passed in August 2017 and approved Village participation in the Green Tier Legacy Community framework.
 
The Green Tier Community framework includes six categories:
•Health  • Energy  • Waste  • Land  • Water & Sewer  •Transportation
 

The Village of Egg Harbor is required to submit an annual report to Green Tier at the Department of Natural Resources.  This report consists of accomplishments, in-progress projects, and other future ideas.
