Welcome

The Columbia County Climate Smart Communities Task Force was established by the Board of Supervisors - "...to serve as the central body that promotes and supports climate mitigation, adaptation, and education in the community, and advises the County Government on undertaking plans, programs, and activities that are part of the CSC program".

The Task Force is currently working on over half a dozen climate related projects, and contemplating more. Within these pages you'll find more information about these projects, the Task Force, and our future plans.
