EAB Presents Leadership Award

Congratulations Bill Striegler and the Timbers Club

The EAB recently awarded the 2017 Environmental Sustainability Award to Bill Striegler and the Timbers Club at AREDAY. Thanks to Bill, the Timbers Club is a prime example of how easy and beneficial being environmentally conscious can be. The Timbers Club realized a 55,000 kWh savings after implementing lighting upgrades in 2015, and the 5 year average energy consumption for the facility is down 13%. This not only results in energy savings, but it results in significant utility bill savings for the Timbers Club and their residents.

We want to applaud Bill for sticking his neck out for new energy efficient technology, and for continuing to do so. Way to go, Bill!

Each year, the Environmental Advisory Board awards a local leader or business that is leading the way in environmental sustainability. Learn more about the award and the 2018 nomination process by following the link below.

Owl Creek Road Work

One lane closure planned week of July 10th

Utility work for the new SWFPD fire station will require a one lane closure on Owl Creek Road the week of July 10th.
