Sustainable Bridgewater is the name given to a 2 year planning process.  The Planning Department has been given the task of designing and implementing the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) for the Town of Bridgewater.  This website will report on the progress toward completion of our ICSP, and provide a resource for people interested in sustainability.

We encourage people and organizations in Bridgewater to learn more about this project, and to become involved in it.
