Please save Wednesday, November 2, at 7:00pm for our next Green Ossining Committee meeting.

In addition to our committee, we will be joined by the Town and Village EACs to hear about an exciting initiative – the Energize Program –  that the Town & Village have decided to participate in as members of the Northern Westchester Energy Action Coalition (NWEAC).

Herb Oringel, the head of the Northern Westchester Energy Action Consortium (NWEAC) will be our guest.

We’ll also be doing the “final read” of our Climate Action Plan in the hopes that we will be ready to release it to the two municipal boards, the school and library boards and the Ossining and Briarcliff Chambers of Commerce.

Visit our Climate Action Plan page for downloads of the draft and sections.

The meeting will be at at the Operations Center on 9A.
