Upper Nyack Recognized with Eco Action Champion Award
Clarkstown Town Supervisor George Hoehmann and the Mayors of the Villages of Nyack, Upper Nyack and Haverstraw were honored to receive the ECO-Action Champion Award for clean energy leadership.
The award recognizes communities and organizations that are actively accelerating the clean energy transition. The four communities proved the power of local climate action by coming together to implement the first community-based renewable electricity program in Rockland County, Rockland Community Power.
The program enabled more than 21,000 households to switch to 100% renewable energy in one go, sourced right here in New York State.
Joule Community Power, which serves 56 communities across NY State (and acts as program administrator for Rockland Community Power), presented the awards at the Clarkstown Town Hall this week.

Statement from Day regarding Anti-LGBTQ+ Incident
Let me be abundantly clear, hate has no home in Rockland County. Today my office was notified about anti-LGBTQ+ graffiti on the exterior of the Rockland County Pride Center in the Village of Nyack. I am disgusted by this type of vandalism surfacing here in Rockland and condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
Words matter and we must not allow intolerance to grow or fester in this beautiful county that we all call home. We must continue our efforts to get to know and embrace our neighbors from different backgrounds. Despite any differences we all seek the same things; a safe and welcoming place to live and work.
While I personally view this incident as a hate crime, we do not know what type of charges the perpetrator may face. I encourage anyone with information about this crime to call or email the Orangetown Police Department at 845-359-3700 and orangetownpd@orangetown.com.
Statement from Commissioner of Human Rights Spencer Chiimbwe
In the wake of the anti-LGBTQ+ graffiti at the Rockland County Pride Center in Nyack, New York, the Rockland Human Rights Commission doubly condemns the incident and submits that such actions are horrific and must not go unaddressed. The Commission will always remain supportive of the work of the Rockland County Pride Center and all other organizations that are working to make our county a great place. No form of social animus will prevent our collective zeal from fighting such frontiers of hate in Rockland County.
