Welcome to the Stevens Point Eco-Municipality Website.
The ground work is laid!!! On June 16th, 2008, Stevens Point City Council unanimously voted to designate Stevens Point as an Eco-Municipality. It takes a combined community and government effort to move this resolution from theory to practice.
Back in June 2007, Stevens Point Mayor Halverson formed the Stevens Point Eco-Municipality Task Force, with the goal to develop a sustainable framework for our community's future. You can read some of the recommendations put forth and other upcoming events on this website.
