On February 4, 2026, the Hudson Valley Regional Council (HVRC) presented the Landfill Biofilters project to the Woodstock Town Board. This important environmental project safely, effectively, and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from landfills and provides additional benefits. The presentation can be accessed here.
Funding for the implementation of the landfill biofilters covered by this Project is fully covered by the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) Program of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In February 2026, Supervisor Anula Courtis and HVRC Executive Director Carla Castillo signed the Woodstock Landfill Biofilters Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), positioning Woodstock to benefit from this environmentally friendly project, with implementation costs covered by the GPRG Program, and with Woodstock once again being a leader in environmental initiatives.
Woodstock applied and was accepted into NYSERDA’s Community Heat Pump Systems Program Opportunity Notice (PON) 4614 Category A: Site Specific Scoping Study. Our application met the August 16, 2022, deadline and resulted in the awarding of a $100,000 grant for this study.
CHA Consulting, Inc. (CHA) furnished this scoping study, investigating the feasibility of an ambient loop district energy system using ground heat exchangers as the primary source of energy. This scoping study focused on the central corridor through the Town of Woodstock (ToW), consisting of Mill Hill Road, Tinker Street, and Rock City Road.
This Woodstock Community report has been submitted into NYSERDA's publication review process. When NYSERDA publishes this report, likely in 2026, it will be found on NYSERDA's Large Scale Thermal page and Clean Heating & Cooling Reports page.
