City Obtains Recertification for Sustainable Maryland

The City of Brunswick received notification that our 2024 application for Sustainable Maryland Recertification had been approved, reinstating our participation in the Sustainable Maryland program. The official award was presented to city officials at the fall Maryland Municipal League (MML) Conference on November 8, 2024.

Sustainable Maryland is a voluntary certification program serving Maryland municipalities interested in prioritizing overall livability and advancing sustainable initiatives into the future. Program participants gain access to resources for sustainable action implementation and opportunities to foster new sustainable priorities in their community.

Among many others, sustainable priorities such as our green purchasing policy, stormwater best management practice planning and implementation, and urban tree planting initiatives awarded the city a Silver certification in the program.

This year’s application was carefully and thoroughly compiled by Sarah Frost and members of the Sustainable Brunswick Committee. The city recognizes the significant effort involved in compiling the application and commends the effort to showcase our commitment to prioritizing sustainability throughout city matters.

The Sustainable Brunswick Committee meets every first Tuesday at 7 PM at the Brunswick Library. The committee welcomes all community members interested in getting involved with current efforts and future opportunities to support sustainability in Brunswick.
