Croton’s Sustainability Committee reviewed plans for 18 train-station EV charging ports and a proposed 20% expansion of food-scrap recycling on September 7, 2025. The minutes describe projects at different stages of preparation, with charger installation, solar commissioning and new recycling capacity still ahead. This article is written solely from the meeting's official minutes; croton.news had no reporter present. The Village Board had awarded the charging work to Plug-In Stations Online in July, according to the minutes, but the contract was still being drafted. The project comprised nine dual-port chargers, at an estimated $300,000 funded by grants and other non-taxpayer sources. Construction was then expected in October, with startup before the end of 2025. The committee also examined Con Edison’s SmartCharge Commercial program as a possible source of support for load-control software and payments for reducing charging demand. The discussion depended on usage and load-reduction assumptions; the minutes do not establish that the village had received those payments. Mayor Brian Pugh reported that the Village Board had approved an August 20 pilot to test renewable diesel in a sewer truck, landscaper and street sweeper through January. A separate fuel tank was expected at Municipal Place later in September. A decision on use in other village diesel trucks was to follow the pilot. Train-station solar-canopy installation was reported complete and parking areas cleared, but commissioning had been delayed by an incentive issue and was then targeted for late October. The minutes said the village was receiving roughly $40,000 in monthly rent in the meantime. They separately reported a delay involving the battery project’s contractor; the minutes do not establish that either system had begun operating. For the DPW solar canopy, the minutes reported a September 4 proposal from Rivertowns Solar for a 59.4-kilowatt system costing roughly $255,000 after the NY-SUN discount. Further rebates were conditional, and the proposed remaining cost would draw on an existing NYSERDA grant. Harmon firehouse solar and heat-pump projects and Washington firehouse heat pumps remained tied to scheduling, draft bid documents and funding. A heat-pump water heater had been installed in the EMS addition in early August, according to the minutes. Cheryl Wong presented a food-scrap expansion proposal that would add 20% more participants while buying enough equipment for 40% growth. Her attached proposal described about 100 participating families, five existing bins and plans to buy two more. Available labor funding supported only the smaller immediate expansion. The proposal expressly awaited committee approval; the minutes do not record an approval vote. Trustee Len Simon reported that Project Mover’s e-bikes had logged 250 trips in July after the July 9 launch. The minutes also reported one-year extensions for three current grants. The next committee meeting was set for October 5, 2025.
