Hanover’s Award-Winning Vision for a Sustainable Future
Hanover’s award-winning Sustainability Master Plan sets a bold and inclusive vision: to meet the needs of today without compromising the future. Rooted in equity, resilience, and environmental responsibility, and developed through a robust multi-year engagement process of in-person and online community meetings, workshops, events and surveys, the plan lays out clear commitments that reflect our values and aspirations as a community.
We’re expanding housing options to welcome people of all incomes and backgrounds, building a circular, diverse and resilient economy, and celebrating the unique character of our built and natural environments. We’re investing in clean, accessible mobility and transportation options for people of all ages and abilities, reimagining a vibrant downtown, and leading the way on climate action—with goals to power Hanover entirely on renewable energy in the coming decades.
At the heart of it all is our commitment to health, well-being, transparency, and collaboration—ensuring Hanover remains a place where all can thrive, today and for generations to come. Learn more.
