Dan Lamb, Deputy Supervisor for the Town of Dryden, will be presenting elements of what could be called “The Dryden Miracle.” This small town located east of Ithaca completed several noteworthy accomplishments. Dryden was the first town in New York State to ban fracking. It has also been successful in building community solar, multi-town rail trails and municipal broadband. It is a Bronze level Climate Smart Community. In its permitting process, the town has managed to discourage any new commercial gas hookups over the past 8 years. Most recently Dryden passed a moratorium on cryptomining and data centers. Dan will provide an overview of how the Town of Dryden has implemented these changes, thus providing a model for other local municipalities.
