Barriers and Opportunities for Historically Overburdened and Under-Resourced Communities Report |
DEC, in cooperation with the New York Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the New York Power Authority (NYPA), will hold virtual public meetings on November 3 and 4, 2021, to receive comments that inform the development of the Barriers and Opportunities for Historically Overburdened and Under-Resourced Communities Report.
There will be two WebEx meeting sessions: November 3, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. and November 4, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. These meetings will facilitate public input on barriers and opportunities within each of the five services and commodities listed above. Study findings will be further refined based on public input. All persons, organizations, corporations, or government agencies are invited to attend the public meetings and to submit oral or written comments. It is not necessary to speak at both virtual meetings, as equal weight is given to statements made in each forum. Additional information, including instructions for joining each event as well as supplemental documents, will be made available prior to each event at: https://climate.ny.gov/Events-and-Meetings. All New Yorkers, especially those who live or work in historically overburdened and under-resourced communities, are encouraged to provide comments and input on the following questions:
Lengthy statements should be in writing and summarized for oral presentation. Reasonable time limits may be set for each speaker to afford everyone an opportunity to be heard.

Requests should be submitted to NYS DEC, Office of Communication Services, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-1550 or by email to: public@dec.ny.gov, or phone (518) 402-8044 no later than 5:00 p.m. on November 2, 2021.
