The Town of Windsor Locks was recently recognized with a "Power of Change Award", a distinction that ranks the town as one of Connecticut's top municipal energy efficiency leaders.
Winning "First Honors" in the "Top Town Hall Award" category, Windsor Locks was celebrated as a model for its efforts to save energy in municipal buildings.
Nine other municipalities were also honored by The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, The Hampshire Foundation and The Common Sense Fund in additional categories.
“These ten Power of Change Award winners demonstrate Connecticut’s leadership and innovation in energy efficiency—they are prime examples of how our municipalities are taking an active role in advancing a clean energy economy,” said Stewart Hudson of the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation in a prepared statement.
“We created the Power of Change Award first as an opportunity to encourage more state and municipal leaders to make important investments in their future, and also as an occasion to give energy efficiency leaders their due recognition. We believe that it is vital to celebrate success in our towns and cities. The Power of Change Awards celebrate good government practices that protect human health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and in the process, help the Connecticut economy and save taxpayer dollars," he said.
