The Green Idea City of Hermosa Beach project has reached a major milestone in its goal to help the town become the first carbon-neutral city in the South Bay.
The City Council voted 5-0 on Tuesday to agree to a memorandum of understanding between Hermosa Beach and AECOM, an international provider of environmental and energy-related technical and management support services.
The global conglomerate will work for free to provide consulting and grant writing services that secure funding for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, as well as other programs that can cut the city’s greenhouse gas emissions.
