Just now, by going to the town's web site, I found out I could elect Green Power from Con Edison (which I did) for only fractions more than the current electricity rate. The town should continue to lead the way in this and other initiatives -- any new construction should support the Energy Star standards. I commend the town for hiring someone to address these issues and set a standard for other communities in Westchester and elsewhere. Green buildings do not cost business more in the long run and do not discourage expansion.

A big cost for every business is heat/air conditioning,electricity.

Don't worry about attracting new business into the town, worry about how many more restricitions and laws we can place on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-1165724462912081072006-12-09T23:21:00.000-05:002006-12-09T23:21:00.000-05:00energy conservation should be required.energy conservation should be required.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
