MANCHESTER – The Manchester Environmental Commission hopes to help residents save some money and is hosting a public forum on energy efficiency.
The commission’s Vice Chair Peggy Middaugh said, “our speaker at the next Manchester Environmental Commission meeting will be representatives from Jersey Central Power & Light.”
The forum will take place at 6 p.m. April 26, in the Court Room at the Town Hall Complex at 1 Colonial Drive.
“Learn how you can benefit by saving energy and money at home with JCP&L. The representatives will speak about available JCP&L energy efficiency programs that will help homeowners save money and energy for years to come,” Middaugh said.
She noted the presentation would be followed by a question-and-answer period. “The JCP&L presentation will take place at the beginning of our monthly meeting and will be followed by the regular agenda.”
Middaugh added, “those with questions can call 732-657-8121 x3107 or e-mail us at environmentalcommission@manchestertwp.com.
This forum will be the second of two Earth Day programs planned by the Commission. The first will be held on Earth Day April 22 and April 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a free tree seedlings giveaway that will be available on a first come, first served basis.
The seedlings come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The giveaway will take place at the municipal complex at 1 Colonial Drive in the parking lot.
