Work on electric-vehicle chargers at the Croton-Harmon train station advanced to trench digging in September, while the Sustainability Committee reported a funding setback for the Harmon firehouse roof and an unresolved design issue for the Department of Public Works solar canopy. This article is written solely from the Sustainability Committee’s September 20 meeting minutes, including a separately dated September 22 follow-up; croton.news had no reporter present. The minutes reported that Con Edison installed a utility pole September 3 for the 100-kVA transformer needed to supply the station chargers. A contractor met with village officials September 9 to discuss scheduling, and a backhoe began digging the roughly 150-foot trench September 18. The record described installation by Christmas as a possibility, not a firm completion date. Two grants remained part of the charger project. The minutes recorded a counter-signed contract extending a $17.5K grant through September 2027 and said the approximately $150K state Department of Environmental Conservation charger grant had been extended earlier in the year. The committee also reviewed plans for two replacement municipal vehicles. Len Simon reported that the village would budget in fiscal year 2027 to replace two 2015 Ford Escape SUVs, assigned to the Recreation Department and to staff travel for conferences and training. The minutes connected that plan to a state rebate that had increased to $30K per electric vehicle. Another dual-port charger might be needed, with the Vassallo Park parking lot being considered as a location. At the Harmon firehouse, the committee reported learning September 17 that Croton would not receive an approximately $300K state grant for a new roof. The minutes said the village would instead use capital funding and a $100K CREST grant through State Sen. Harckham’s office. The roofing work was to be coordinated with replacement of six existing rooftop air-conditioning units with air-source heat pumps, followed later by approximately 35 kW of solar panels. The minutes listed approximately $300K in NYSERDA funding for those projects. They also recorded an expected loss of an approximately $30K DirectPay refund because the solar work could not be completed by the stated July 1, 2027 federal deadline. The record warned that some or all of a separate NY-SUN incentive could also be missed, depending on what remained available when work began. The proposed DPW solar canopy faced a different obstacle: a requirement from New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection concerning the depth of its concrete footings. Committee members discussed removing pavement elsewhere on the site and replacing it with gravel as a potentially less costly alternative. A September 22 note appended to the minutes reported that DPW had already suggested that approach. DEP’s response was that the proposed compensatory area lay outside the buffer area affected by the canopy project. Lindsay Audin then requested a map to see whether another paved area could be considered. The minutes also identified a separate, unresolved Con Edison issue over which existing electric account would connect to the proposed canopy. The station’s solar canopies had reached a different stage. The minutes recorded a September 9 ribbon cutting and said DPW was installing larger drain piping beneath the southern canopies to reduce flooding during heavy rain. Panel washing was planned for early October, along with replacement of some panels damaged by shells dropped by birds. On shared bicycles, Simon reported 1,300 Croton rides since the bikes returned in April. A hub had opened at Senasqua Park, while another remained pending near the pedestrian overpass from North Riverside Avenue. Simon agreed to investigate whether an area at the station could accommodate a larger hub. The minutes described possible county support after the grant ended the following year as a hope, not secured funding. For the next round of battery-storage proposals, the minutes reported six acceptable responses to an information request sent to 29 developers. Village properties were being screened for a planned October request for proposals. That work remained preparatory; the minutes did not report a project award. The committee set its next Zoom meeting for October 18 at 10 a.m.
