We received two grant award announcements this week:
The first grant is from NYSERDA and is awarded due to our Climate Smart Communities work, which the shared Sustainability position with the Town has been able to bring back. This award is for $10,000 to go towards the purchase of an electric mower. We have budgeted for two new mowers in 2024 and this will offset the cost of purchasing one of these as in electric model, which is slightly more expensive than the model we were looking to procure. The second grant is part of the Regional Economic Development Council Consolidated Funding Application Awards and is for work on the trail connections in the BOA area. This grant is for $180,000 to expand and maintain the rail trail. 2024 Budget is now live on CM budget page to view full city manager report please visit: |

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Closed Loop Systems ended their operation last month. While the city continues to plan for ongoing operations at the site, the local compost hauler, Growing Cycle, has provided two green toters allowing drop off service for residents who had a prior agreement for bringing food scraps to Doran Avenue. Growing Cycle is offering this service at no charge to the city. They also provide a curbside compost pickup option to those interested for a small fee. A sign with their contact information has been posted at the Doran Avenue gate and below. We apologize for any inconvenience the Closed Loop System situation has caused. We hope to report back on a solution soon and remain committed to diverting food waste from the landfills.
