Kingston, New York undertook a number of exciting initiatives as part of its SolSmart Bronze designation, including moving to install solar PV on publicly-owned buildings, participated in and supported local community solar, and updating zoning to support solar energy.
In order for us to truly transition off fossil fuels in a meaningful way, we need to walk the walk with our municipal operations but also make the transition as seamless as possible by removing barriers for the community wherever we can as city government. This award demonstrates that we are a leader in doing just that.
- Julie Noble, City of Kingston Environmental Education and Sustainability Coordinator
