McFarland, WI

Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on one piece of legislation. The Village of McFarland adopted a resolution in June 2022 to join the Wisconsin Local Government Climate Coalition, a membership organization that helps local governments develop clean energy and low-carbon solutions. Through this membership, the Village committed to supporting advocacy efforts in several key areas: improving energy efficiency, expanding clean energy sources, converting buildings and transportation to electric power, and promoting smart growth development. The resolution also authorizes the Village’s Community & Economic Development Department to participate in state-level initiatives aimed at phasing out coal and other fossil fuel power plants. This action connects to the Village’s broader sustainability plan, which includes targets for transitioning municipal operations and the wider community to renewable energy sources.
