Orange County Exec Re-Elected to Energize NY Board

From Energize NY:

April 19, 2016. Yorktown Heights, NY. Energy Improvement Corporation’s (EIC) municipal members
elected two new directors to EIC’s Board at its Fourth Annual Meeting of Members on April 6. Dana
Levenberg, Supervisor of the Town of Ossining, and Warren Lucas, Supervisor of the Town of North
Salem, each were unanimously elected to a three-year term. Also re-elected to the Board were Joseph
Mareane, County Administrator of Tompkins County, and Steve Neuhaus, County Executive of Orange
County.

“I am honored to have been appointed to a Board that is doing such meaningful work in our region,
including financing for a large project right here in Ossining,” said Supervisor Levenberg. “In a time
when resources are scarce and energy costs are volatile, our communities deserve progressive and
proactive leadership to help us navigate our options for cleaner and greener solutions. That is exactly what
we have with the EIC, and I am proud to represent Ossining in this important mission,” she added.

“I am excited about serving on the EIC board alongside an impressive group of municipal professionals
who, like me, are dedicated to saving money and energy for our constituents, said Warren Lucas.

Representatives from 22 EIC municipal members and from New York State Energy Research
Development Authority (“NYSERDA”) joined EIC staff and other community leaders at the Annual
Meeting to review EIC’s 2015 accomplishments and future goals. Brad Tito, Program Manager,
Communities & Local Governments at NYSERDA, also spoke about the ways NYSERDA can help local
communities prioritize high-impact clean-energy actions to save money, foster a vibrant economy, and
improve the environment.

Through its Energize NY and Solarize Westchester programs, EIC helps property owners across New
York State reduce energy waste, save money and improve the quality of their buildings through clean
energy projects involving energy efficiency and renewable energy.

has grown to 27 municipal members and a staff of 12 managing Energize NY Finance, Energize NY
Residential, Energize NY Commercial and Solarize Westchester.

Energize NY has approved over $1mm in clean energy projects in its member municipalities since
launching Energize NY Finance in 2015, including a 120 kW roof-mounted solar electric system at Terra
Tile & Marble in the Town of Ossining, and energy efficiency upgrades at the Robson House, a multifamily
affordable housing facility in North Salem, which is owned by A-HOME, a not-for-profit based in
Pleasantville, NY. Information about these and other clean energy projects can be found at on Energize
