Williamsburg Energy Committee presented Specialized Stretch Code ahead of June 1 vote. Members Adin Maynard (Chair), Mimi Kaplan, Robert Longley, and Richard Guzowski outlined new construction requirements based on building size and fuel type, clarifying the code does not affect existing homes or ban any fuel type.

Williamsburg could access up to $1.15 million per cycle through available grants. Priority projects include Dunphy School solar array (292 kilowatts, projected to offset approximately $100,000 annually), Meekins Library HVAC, and EV charging infrastructure. Municipal energy spending currently reaches approximately $190,000 per year.
