                            project - under the auspices of Michael Shilale 
                            Architects, LLP (MSA), a growing New City, NY

                            construction in Rockland County.
 The energy efficiency capital improvements for North 
                            Rockland’s 10 schools (recently approved by NY SED) 
                            involved careful analysis of numerous factors. 
                            Boosted by Governor Cuomo’s innovative clean energy 
                            and environmental initiatives, the resulting 
                            recommendations made by Michael Shilale Architects 
                            achieved cost-savings that will foot the bill for 
                            the entire project. Happy news for tax-weary North 
                            Rockland residents!

                            energy-smart materials and expert construction,”
