In 2003, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney appointed Foy to the new post of Chief of Commonwealth Development. Romney instructed Foy "to devise an environmentally-friendly 'smart growth' plan for the state and (initially) back[ed] Foy when he trie[d] to organize a greenhouse gas emissions accord among several Northeast states." Foy resigned in February 2006. While in office, he helped design the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative which Romney refused to sign on to because of its potential impact on businesses and consumers.

Bush recognized Foy's work on energy efficiency with the President's Environmental and Conservation Challenge Award. In 2006, Foy was named the recipient of the national Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service.
