Town of Hempstead’s Point Lookout Energy Park at Department of Conservation and Waterways
The Point Lookout Energy Park, was featured in a US Department of Energy webinar.
The Community Renewable Energy Deployment (CommRE) “Renewable Energy Parks” webinar, from March 19, 2013, was presented by Tara Schneider from the Town of Hempstead Dept of Conservation and Waterways, which built and hosts the energy park.
The webinar explored the concept of energy parks as an outreach to the community, educational opportunity, and as a demonstration of what can be done.
