PEARL RIVER – The Village of Florida has been recognized by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) with the “Local EV Infrastructure Excellence Award.” It was presented to the municipality that installed the highest number of EV chargers throughout the service area while proactively promoting eco-friendly transportation and reducing carbon emissions.
“We are honored to receive this award from Orange and Rockland. Our forward-thinking partnership not only provides our residents with clean energy charging options but also helps protect our environment as well,” said Florida Mayor Daniel Harter, Jr.
Florida and nine other honorees were recognized at O&R’s inaugural “E-Mobility Awards” ceremony in Pearl River for their commitment to the clean energy future by assisting with the installation of thousands of commercial and residential electric vehicle chargers throughout the O&R service territory.
“Without the tremendous support of leadership within the communities we represent, as well as local businesses, we would not be able to provide our customers with the electric vehicle infrastructure they need and desire,” said Andrew Farrell, O&R’s director of E-Mobility. “To be able to recognize various municipalities and contractors for their role in increasing EV infrastructure is a testament to the clean energy vision we share.”
