MAYOR YOUNG WELCOMES NEW YORK
STATE COMPTROLLER THOMAS P. DINAPOLI TO MOUNT VERNON
As part of
his on-going efforts to develop Green Initiatives and
strengthen the city’s infrastructure, Mount Vernon Mayor
Clinton I. Young, Jr. invited New York State Comptroller
Thomas P. DiNapoli to meet with local leaders at City Hall
last month.
“I have developed a great deal of respect for the work
Comptroller DiNapoli has done to advance New York State,”
said Mayor Young. “In these difficult economic times, we are
fortunate to cultivate strong inter-governmental
partnerships to bring Mount Vernon’s renaissance to
fruition. Comptroller DiNapoli and our state delegation have
been tremendous allies in advancing our green initiatives,
information technology systems, the memorial field project,
downtown infrastructure renovation and expanding our
emergency services. We are pleased to have partners like
Comptroller DiNapoli to help Mount Vernon achieve success.”
Last year, Mayor Young announced the commencement of
the Mount Vernon Green Initiatives. Mayor Young introduced a
partnership with a group lead by John Berenyi, a world
renowned expert in the fields of alternate energy and
alternate fuel technology, which will result in the creation
of a vision plan that will outline steps the City of Mount
Vernon will be able to take to become a more green
community. Mayor Young has also initiated a Comprehensive
Plan project that will ultimately shape development in Mount
Vernon for decades to come.
This year, Mayor Young hopes to announce new pieces of
the Mount Vernon Green Initiatives, including the
incorporation alternate-energy vehicles with an emphasis on
energy efficient engine modifications for the current
municipal fleet.
“With this initial relationships with Comptroller
DiNapoli’s Office, we can both work together to improve the
quality of life for the citizens of Mount Vernon,” said
Mayor Young.
