Wicked Local Arlington was named the second greenest community in Greater Boston, according to a recent ranking by Boston Magazine. Boston Magazine awarded points to each community based on 19 different factors, such as energy aggregation plans, the percentage of hybrid or electric municipal vehicles, online climate action promotion and the presence of a full-time climate action coordinator. Each town could get a score from 1 to 5 in each category, making the maximum score of 95 points. Arlington scored 87 points, good enough for second on the list behind Cambridge, which scored 90 points. The study praised Arlington's ability to secure funding for green initiatives through grant applications, as well as the leadership of Town Manager Adam Chapdelaine.
