Town of Orangetown

LED Street Light Conversion
Here’s a bright idea that will save taxpayer money, too. Orangetown is installing 2,300 new LED fixtures. All Bright Electric, the town’s streetlight installation contractor, will take four months to complete this work.
The new LED lights will save the town an estimated $400,000 per year in energy and maintenance costs. It will also help reduce greenhouse gas production by 690 tons/year–the equivalent of removing more than 130 cars from the road. The total project cost is $2.3 million, an investment that will save millions in energy costs over the 20-year life expectancy of the LED fixtures.
This month installation begins in Palisades, Sparkill and portions of Tappan (see sections 1 and 2 on the Sector Map) .

Town of Clarkstown

On Thurs December 14 at 6p, there will be a tree lighting at the grand opening of the first Winter Wonderland at Congers Lake Memorial Park. There will also be a visit from Santa, horse drawn wagon rides, preschoolers caroling, s’mores making, and a musical performance by the popular children’s singer Matty Roxx. Come see the new LED light displays along the walking trail surrounding the Congers Community Center at located at 6 Gilchrest Road.
The Winter Wonderland light display will be open daily from December 14th to January 1st, from 5p to 9:45p. Also, throughout the month the town will be collecting scarves, gloves, and mittens for families in need. Residents are encouraged to donate winter accessories inside the community center, upstairs auditorium.
Residents are also encouraged to register for some of the new festive programs being held at the Congers Community Center. Some of the programs include cookie decorating, various holiday concerts, creating holiday flower arrangements, wreath making, magic tricks, knitting without needles, holiday craft events, gingerbread making, creating winter lego scenes, and more.
