Dear Neighbor,

On Tuesday, December 6th, I will be joined by Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine to present a Virtual Town Hall on “Local Law 97: Technical and Financial Resources to Assist with Compliance and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions.”

This event is geared toward co-op and condo board members, building managers, and anyone with questions about what their building will need to do to comply with Local Law 97 and how they can go about it.

See below for more information and registration details.

Best,

Liz Krueger

State Senator

A Virtual Town Hall for Co-op and Condo Boards, and Building Managers

“Local Law 97: Technical and Financial Resources

to Assist with Compliance and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions” 

Sponsored by Senator Liz Krueger

and Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine

Tuesday, December 6th, 7pm – 8:30 pm

Buildings are the single-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in New York City. Local Law 97 sets limits on the levels of allowable greenhouse gas emissions from buildings over 25,000 square feet. Compliance requires New York City buildings to become more energy efficient and may require additional measures, such as electrification. 

The law will go into effect in 2024, a little over a year away. Learn what steps your building should take *now* to comply with the law, and find out about technical and financial resources available to support buildings as they go green. Experts will share information about Local Law 97’s implementation timeline, and what actions your building can take to reduce emissions.

The Virtual Town Hall will feature:

·        Simon Mugo, NYC Accelerator Program, Mid-Atlantic Region

·        Gina Bocra, Chief Sustainability Officer, NYC Department of Buildings (DOB)

You will have the option of joining the event online through Zoom, a webinar hosting service. 

You will also have the option to view the event online through Facebook. Please note that you do not need a Facebook account or profile to view the event through Facebook.

If you do not have access to a computer, tablet, or other electronic device, you can listen in by telephone.

**Once you register for the event, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom and Facebook links, and the call-in information.**

The event will feature a question and answer session with Simon Mugo and Gina Bocra. If you want information about the Local Law 97 implementation timeline, the available resources to support buildings boards and managers to comply with the law, and financial support available, you should attend the December 6th Virtual Town Hall. Attendees will be able to submit questions through Zoom and Facebook during the event but are *strongly* encouraged to submit them in advance.
