Governor Hochul today launched a new statewide enrollment drive to help millions more New Yorkers get a monthly discount on their utility bills through the State’s Energy Affordability Program (EAP). The State estimates that about 2.5 million more households are eligible to enroll for monthly discounts, including many newly eligible due to Governor Hochul’s expansion of program eligibility. Depending on household income, the EAP can help New Yorkers save up to hundreds of dollars per year on utility costs, with discounts set to make a typical utility bill less than six percent of household income. Learn more about the requirements here.

Effective immediately the Hollow Dam Project on the Sullivan Road has ceased operation and the Ampersand Company will not be renewing their lease. Ownership of the property at that location has reverted to the prior owners who will no longer offer any public access to the picnic area and the river. Should a new lease be acquired the owners will revisit the situation.
