Invitation to Stretch Code Q and A event

The Green Energy Committee of Rehoboth is hosting a presentation on the Stretch Code at Goff Hall on Tuesday, April 30 at 7:00pm. The Stretch Code is a building code that applies to new construction and replaces the prior code or "Base Code." Voters will consider adopting it at the Town Meeting on Monday, May 13.

The Stretch Code increases the energy efficiency and reduces the life-cycle energy costs of new homes and businesses (and does not apply to existing structures). Adopting the Stretch Code is a requirement for becoming a Green Community, which provides State funding to make substantial improvements to the energy efficiency of Town facilities (and save money for the Town). The Stretch Code has been put forth by Rehoboth’s Green Energy Committee as part of its work to bring Green Community status to the Town.

At the presentation on Tuesday, April 30 at 7:00 pm in Goff Hall, residents will have the opportunity to get all their questions answered. Please join us for discussion and refreshments.
