SUSTAINABILITY

 

The city of Port Jervis is progressively moving forward with “green initiatives” for the benefit of the community. Some of the projects consist of improving green space with grant funds, installation of bike racks for bicyclists and mobility around the city, and proposed community garden.

 

The municipality continues to find solutions that are eco-conscious and minimize costs for our constituents. An example is the latest technology, in water clarification.  Also, efforts have been coordinated with solar energy companies to identify city owned buildings and property  for the feasibility of installation of solar panels, again, to help reduce energy cost.

 

Annually, the Farmer’s Market supplies fresh produce from local farmers in the Tri-State area. The market is sponosred by the City of Port Jervis. Open late June to mid – November.

 

COMMUNITY GARDEN

 

The Port Jervis Community Garden creates green space and gives area residents the chance to grow their own food.  Our Community Garden inspires and educates residents about the environment and nutrition, encourages personal investment in and cooperative ownership of community assets and reverses the effects of urban blight and revitalize community life.

 

Benefits of urban agriculture include:

  • Alternative source of fresh produce.
  • Preservation of cultural identity and traditions.
  • Food grown on these plots can be kept for personal consumption or used to procure supplemental income.
  • Contribute to community revitalization.
