Sustainability Advisory Board meetings are currently on hold pending the appointment of a Board Chair.
The Sustainability Advisory Board meets the third Thursday of every month in the Perinton Community Center at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted. The public is invited to attend meetings in person.
The Sustainability Advisory Board is tasked with evaluating current and future opportunities to implement sustainable best practices in Town operations. It also helps identify community issues and concerns and develop potential strategies, proposals, plans, or solutions and serve in an advisory capacity to the Town Supervisor and Town Board as well as Town Departments, committees, and volunteer boards. The board’s goal is to preserve Perinton’s natural resources by reducing the Town’s ecological footprint while identifying operational efficiencies to produce cost savings for local taxpayers.
Perinton’s Sustainability Advisory Board focuses its attention on several key action areas, including Facilities and Infrastructure; Fleet; Energy; Resources Recovery; Natural Resources; and Education and Outreach. It also works to secure grants that may contribute to the reuse and preservation of sustainable infrastructure in the community. Furthermore, the board supports the sustainable and green infrastructure measures of the Town’s Comprehensive Plan Update. The Plan identifies several focus areas such as protecting open spaces and natural resources, supporting the farming and agricultural industry, and embracing local renewable energy sources and alternative energy systems within the Town.
The seven-member board is complemented by ex-officio members, such as representatives from the Planning Board, Conservation Board, Recreation and Parks Department, and Public Works. Perinton’s Sustainability Advisory Board was established by local law and is detailed in Chapter 61 of the Town Code.
