Congressman Eliot at Mount St. Michael Academy

Congressman Eliot Engel, the Democrat representing New York’s 16th congressional district, joined Mount St. Michael Academy’s CEO Peter Corritori, Jr. and Silver Lining Solar President Barrett Silver at a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the installation of the 110kW system on the gymnasium’s roof. The 324 solar panels produce almost 20% of the school’s annual electrical needs and will save the school over a half million dollars over the system’s lifespan. Representative Eliot praised the project as an example of a learning tool for the students, an environmental benefit to the Wakefield community, and a sound financial decision by the school’s leadership.
