🌎 Troy is officially Bronze Climate Smart!

Mayor Mantello is proud to announce that the City of Troy has officially achieved Bronze Climate Smart Communities Certification through the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation - recognizing our continued commitment to local climate action, sustainability, emissions reduction, and building a more resilient community.

This achievement is the result of the hard work and dedication of the members of our City Sustainability Task Force, who have worked alongside residents and municipal representatives to advance meaningful climate initiatives in Troy.

We are proud of reaching the Bronze level, but we’re not stopping here. We’re already looking ahead to Silver!

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this achievement possible and continues to work toward a cleaner, more sustainable and resilient future for the City of Troy. 🌱
