Energy Efficiency Program for Small Businesses Now in the Bronx

The Hispanic Federation’s Energy Efficiency Program is moving on up to the Bronx. Much like their counterparts have done in Washington Heights and Inwood over the past year, Bronx business owners can now apply to receive FREE lighting retrofits in their establishments.  This expansion of services is being made possible thanks to the generous support of Walmart. To date, more than 125 businesses have been able to lower their carbon footprint and significantly reduce their energy costs as a result of this initiative.
