Should Worcester have strict eco-friendly building codes?

This poll has ended (since 18 days).

In 2023, the Worcester City Council adopted specialized stretch codes, mandatory environmentally friendly building codes meant to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Over the past three years, members of the business and real estate communities have pushed back against the codes, saying they drive up costs and slow development. Now, the City of Worcester is recommending a pause in enforcement of the codes until at least January 2028.

No, the City should opt out of specialized stretch codes altogether.
