Sustainable Westchester: Municipal Profile Form

Municipal Profile Form

As part of its ongoing efforts to promote greater transparency and cooperation among Westchester municipalities on the issue of sustainability and climate change, the County is compiling basic “profile” data from each municipality for publication on its expanding website. The idea is to create a new section of the website – based partly on this form – which aggregates data on municipal-level sustainability efforts in support the goals of the County’s Global Warming Action Plan (www.westchestergov.com/globlawarming).    Information will not be posted on the County’s website without your explicit consent.”
