Upper Nyack Recognized with Eco Action Champion Award

Clarkstown Town Supervisor George Hoehmann and the Mayors of the Villages of Nyack, Upper Nyack and Haverstraw were honored to receive the ECO-Action Champion Award for clean energy leadership.

The award recognizes communities and organizations that are actively accelerating the clean energy transition. The four communities proved the power of local climate action by coming together to implement the first community-based renewable electricity program in Rockland County, Rockland Community Power.

The program enabled more than 21,000 households to switch to 100% renewable energy in one go, sourced right here in New York State.

Joule Community Power, which serves 56 communities across NY State (and acts as program administrator for Rockland Community Power), presented the awards at the Clarkstown Town Hall this week.
