    Question: Has anyone written a sample Zoning Amendment to distribute to local municipalities to add Green Roof Requirements to local bylaws?

    If so  please forward the same.

    If not are you willing to help write such? Please contact me.

    Seems to me if we work together we can get some consistency in the requirements and we have a better shot at improving things environmentally from the local level than attempting to get support from the top where we have such a tiny voice.

    This method has helped provide Affordable Housing in MA. Together we can achieve this.
