NEW ROCHELLE – The City of New Rochelle’s
Business Improvement District is going to develop a public art display
in the center of downtown powered entirely by the sun. The $50,000 for
the project will be donated by the Green Mountain Energy “Sun Club.”
The outdoor art project will begin this spring and be installed in the
vicinity of Library Green, the home of the BID Downtown Farmers Market.
“This display is an exciting addition to our growing mosaic of public
art, and underscores the city’s commitment to sustainable energy,”
said Mayor Noam Bramson.
“This unique and cutting edge installation will promote New Rochelle
as an arts destination,” said City Councilman Ivan Hyden.
“The installation of a solar public arts display right in the heart
of the downtown will support our sense of community, and the use of clean
energy demonstrates our commitment to a sustainable future,” said
BID Executive Director Ralph Dibart.
