Legislator Catherine Parker (D-Rye), chair of the County Board of Legislators Energy and Environment Committee, announced that a bill to create a County Office of Energy Director has passed the Board of Legislators and is expected to be signed into law by County Executive Rob Astorino.
The new Office of the Energy Director would be charged with finding opportunities for grants and funding for energy efficient upgrades to infrastructure and net significant savings in energy costs to the county incorporating technologies that would reduce dependence on carbon and in turn reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“This legislation, which will save taxpayers money and protect the environment, is a perfect example of how we can do more for Westchester taxpayers. Families across the county have taken steps to become more energy efficient and realize real savings every month as a result. It is long overdue that this county takes steps in the same direction,” explained Parker.
