Village wins Bronze Medal Award from Clean Air Counts!

The Village received a bronze award from the Clean Air Counts program for a number of our initiatives for our clean air programs. The lady who runs the program Eye Pytel came up and gave us a plaque at the village board meeting last Monday.

Municipalities, government agencies, and authorities – including school board, park districts, and others – can play a major role in improving the region’s air quality. Government bodies can exercise a tremendous market influence, not only through legislation, but by choices they make as employers, purchasers, service providers, and property owners.

In addition to joining as a Clean Air Counts Adopter and implementing emission reduction strategies, all governing bodies can become a Clean Air Community. Becoming a Clean Air Community is an excellent way for local governments to demonstrate their commitment to clean air.

We are very proud of what we have done, which includes, diesel retrofits, solid waste programs, and electronic waste programs.
