NEW! Sustainable Middlesex County
"We are proud to partner with Middlesex County and Freeholder
Polos in this endeavor and to support residents of the County’s
25 municipalities as they embrace energy efficiency and the
benefits it can provide in powering their lives and protecting
the environment," said Jeanne M. Fox, president of the
New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. "The Middlesex
County Clean Air, Clean Energy Initiative exemplifies how
our agency can work with county and local governments to provide
assistance in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy
technologies, and alternative fuels and vehicles."
"Middlesex County is taking the initiative to achieve
cleaner air by helping municipalities implement energy-efficient
measures," said DEP Commissioner Lisa P. Jackson. "The
use of hybrid vehicles, alternative fuels and other clean-energy
technologies goes a long way toward reducing air pollution
and improving public health."
