As Harrison is proposing in Redlands, Grand Terrace officials are also drafting a plan to use less energy at City Hall.
"It's really what can the city do itself, and what can the city ask private developers to do," Community Development Director Gary Koontz said.Officials are pushing for mixed-use development of open fields along Interstate 215, which is prime commercial property, Koontz said. They may also ask developers to build houses designed to use less energy because of the way they are landscaped and insulated.
