NuEnergen CEO Kevin Hamilton was asked to address a large group assembled by the Westchester County Association regarding the topic of “Lower Energy Costs” this past Tuesday at The Graduate Center at Pace University.
From the Jan 13, 2009 Press Release: Taking a leadership role in addressing the economic crisis, The Westchester County Association (WCA) - the area’s premier business membership and advocacy group - today proposed an economic stimulus initiative for Westchester by Westchester.
The unprecedented private sector initiative will focus on three key areas to help provide economic stability and growth for businesses and residents in the county.
The recommendations are the result of the WCA’s December 12 “Economic Summit” that was attended by more than 40 top business leaders from across Westchester that focused on the concerns facing business and possible solutions.
Included in the WCA proposal;
Lower Energy Costs - Create an energy purchasing program to provide lower energy costs for specific sectors that are critical to the county’s economic vitality such as hospitals, colleges, commercial office buildings and other business sectors.
William M. Mooney Jr., WCA President, said; “A clear outcome of our Economic Summit was the need to provide leadership in addressing the economic crisis faced by Westchester. Although we cannot solve the massive economic problem, we can find creative ways to address specific segments of the Westchester economy. While many details of the program remain to be worked out, we are confident that the economic stimulus initiative for Westchester by Westchester is practical and will complement and work in tandem with the anticipated federal economic stimulus program. I am confident that the Westchester business community will come together to meet this challenge as they have so often in the past”.
NuEnergen will continue to offer their support to the WCA and its members in addressing energy costs.
