Yonkers City Council approves sustainable building legislation
YONKERS – The Yonkers City Council, in cooperation with the City’s Green Policy Task Force, passed new legislation Tuesday night to create a comprehensive sustainable building law. When signed into law by Mayor Philip Amicone, green building standards will minimize adverse local and global environmental impacts with new building requirements. Yonkers Green Policy Task Force Chairman Robert Walters, who is also director of the Science Barge for Groundwork Hudson Valley, applauded the legislation. "As a leader in green building technology, the city will become even more of a destination point for new businesses and residents who value our historic past and our vision for a sustainable future," Walters said. The Sustainable Building Local Law states that nearly every new or substantially rehabilitated commercial, civic or residential structure in Yonkers will have to meet a formally recognized and quantifiable standard for sustainable building. |
