Natick School Could Be Getting A Cleaner, Greener Makeover

Town leaders are looking to bring energy-efficient heating technology to Lilja Elementary School.

NATICK, MA — Lilja Elementary School could be taking a big step toward a greener future. Natick's Net Zero Committee has endorsed a proposal to fund the next stage of planning for a heat pump retrofit at the school.

The funding would help bring in design professionals and an owner's project manager to evaluate the improvements and move the project forward.

The proposal still needs additional town approval, but supporters say the effort is an important step toward making local schools more sustainable.
