Task force notes $150 million in planned utility improvements; group discusses grants and a Manhattan Street charging-station application
Summary
North Tonawanda Climate Smart Task Force members discussed local grant opportunities and noted a $150 million figure for utilities improvements in the city; the group also recorded a submitted application for an EV charging station at Manhattan Street and flagged a Klydel wetland/Audubon proposal for future discussion.
Members of the North Tonawanda Climate Smart Task Force reviewed local grant and infrastructure opportunities at their March 11 meeting and recorded several items for follow up.
The minutes note grant areas including Clean Community grants, infrastructure projects and charging-station funding. The task force recorded that an application has been submitted for a charging station at Manhattan Street and agreed to keep the Klydel wetland/Audubon proposal on future agendas.
Minutes additionally state: "infrastructure improvements for utilities throughout NT over the next several years, $150 million in NT." The minutes do not specify the funding source, the timeline for expenditures, or whether the $150 million figure refers to committed funding, proposed projects, or combined estimates; members were advised to track grant opportunities and state-level advocacy developments related to the NYS Climate and Community Protection Act (CCPA).
NYSERDA outreach on the Clean Energy Communities Program was also noted; the minutes included a request for feedback to NYSERDA but did not record formal task-force comment to the agency.
