The Town of Penfield replaced 32 original 1960s-era Town Hall windows with current energy efficient windows the week of August 9. This project was completed under the town’s $145,500 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Other EECBG Projects

The Town of Penfield has used its EECBG funds to conduct New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) audits of the Highway Department and Don Mack buildings, installation of energy efficient lighting in the Penfield Community Center gymnasium, and community-wide CFL giveaways. Energy efficient lights will also be installed in the Town Hall auditorium following the Town Hall window replacement.
