EAB hears about clean energy grants

BY RIKKI MASSAND

The Village of Garden City’s new Superintendent of Public Works John Borroni, P.E., delivered an update to the Environmental Advisory Board about steps the Village is taking to secure clean energy grants from New York State.

At the meeting on Wednesday, February 15th, Borroni discussed NYSERDA – the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority which provides financial assistance to municipalities to increase energy efficiency, use renewable energy, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

NYSERDA has a points-based grants program through which communities receive points for completing “high-impact actions.”
