The Scottsdale City Council is gearing up to delve into key sustainability priorities as they further examine crucial sections of the city's draft sustainability plan during an upcoming work study session. The meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, March 19 at 5 p.m. in the City Hall Kiva, will focus on the remaining priorities of energy, waste, and extreme heat. This session follows the City Council's previous direction on the new framework and proposed targets for the sustainability plan.

The Scottsdale Community Sustainability Plan aims to be a comprehensive roadmap aligning with the city's commitment to environmental stewardship. An unknown source stated, "Scottsdale encourages active participation and invites interested parties to learn more about the sustainability plan."
