This past week we held our monthly Planning Board and Town Board meetings at the Community Center. As part of our Clean Energy Community Actions grant through NYSERDA, we passed a resolution to begin Energy Benchmarking in our municipal buildings. This qualifies us for a $5000 grant to be used towards more energy efficiency in the Town of Jay. We would like to thank ANCA for helping with this and other initiatives through our Climate Smart Task Force. The video for both of these meetings are available on our website: https://townofjayny.gov/ .
Lastly, I hope all of the mothers out there had a very enjoyable Mother’s Day this past weekend. I can tell you, I would not be where I am without the guidance from my mom and my wife. It is to you I look to for the inspiration to do what I do. Thank you and Happy Mother’s Day!
Have a great week,
Matt.
