Impact analysis
The CAP implementation cost study (by EPIC) is not yet complete; an FY 2026-27 CAP administration budget is adopted.
Residents gain cleaner air, climate resilience programs and eventual electrification incentives; environmental groups welcomed the agricultural easement measure.
Speakers opposed to retrofit mandates cited potential costs of roughly $40,000 per home for electrification retrofits.
