Greening Western Queens Fund Advisory Board
The Greening Western Queens Fund was created to administer settlement funds to be used for energy-efficiency and environmental projects in the community affected by the 2006 Long Island City network electric power outages in Consolidated Edison Company of New York's service territory. Funds will support tree planting, greening infrastructure and public conservation education projects in Western Queens over three years, beginning in 2010.
The Greening Western Queens Advisory Board will make the grantmaking decisions for the Greening Western Queens Fund. Members were selected for their expertise in urban forestry, greening infrastructure projects and community involvement. Two seats on the Advisory Board are filled by members of Western Queens Power for the People, North Star Fund's partner in this project.
