Clean Energy

The Village of Odessa has recently been designated as a Clean Energy Community for taking measures to lower their energy use, energy costs, and greenhouse gas emissions by implementing clean energy initiatives approved by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). These initiatives are part of the Clean Energy Communities program, a NYSERDA program, that helps local governments save money, grow the local economy, and improve the environment.

PLEASE NOTE:

  If you walk your dog in the Village of Odessa, it is your responsibility to clean up after your dog on our village sidewalks and on your neighbor’s property.  Please bring “doggie bags” along with you so that you can pick up after your pet.  Please do not be rude and leave your animal’s mess where our residents must walk on our sidewalks or in a yard that does not belong to you.  Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
