FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 16, 2026 NYSEG Completes Upgrades at Cobble Hill Substation in Western New York Substation serves more than 3,700 customers in Boston, Colden, East Concord, and Glenwood Upgrades will improve energy reliability and capacity for customers LANCASTER, N.Y. — June 16, 2026 — New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) has completed its upgrades to the Cobble Hill Substation, which will improve reliability, resilience, and capacity for customers in the towns of Boston, Colden, East Concord, and Glenwood. This substation serves approximately 3,700 customers in Western New York. The investment is part of Avangrid and NYSEG’s investment plan to improve grid infrastructure through 2030 to meet the growing energy demands on homes and businesses and protect the community against severe weather events. “This substation was a priority for us because it supports energy capacity and reliability for our customers in Erie County,” said Marc Geaumont, president of NYSEG. “For some time, customers in this community were reliant on a mobile substation to power their homes and businesses. Now that the work is completed, we can use our mobile substation to improve reliability in other communities in need.” The substation is located on Hunn Road and is approximately 50 years old. This spring, NYSEG procured a 56 MVA transformer which will provide the energy load for the community.

“Reliable electric service is essential to the safety, economy, and quality of life of the Town of Boston,” said Jason Keding, Town of Boston supervisor. “NYSEG’s investment in the Cobble Hill Substation represents a significant upgrade to critical infrastructure that serves many residents and businesses in our community and neighboring towns.” “This is fantastic for our residents in this part of the Town of Concord,” said Phil Drozd, Town of Concord town supervisor. “Knowing that NYSEG recognized a problem area and invested dollars to remedy shows me they care about their customers. Myself and the other Supervisors from the towns this substation services were treated to a tour of the facility and had the upgrades explained to us. The NYSEG staff was very professional and answered all of our questions.” With growing demand, more extreme weather, and increased electrification, the Companies are focused on making smart investments in the energy system. These upgrades replace older equipment with newer, more reliable technology to improve service, reduce outages, and keep communities better prepared for severe weather. ### About NYSEG: New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) is a subsidiary of Avangrid, Inc.

Boston Free Library 9475 Boston State Road * Boston, New York * 14025 8500 Boston State Road Boston, NY 14025 June 29, 2026 Dear Town of Boston Board, The Boston Free Library recently received a grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation for a project entitled “Connecting the Community to Nature: A Native Plant Garden and Outdoor Educational Space at the Boston Free Library." The project involves the installation of a fence and small greenhouse as integral parts of the library’s educational garden design. The garden will provide interactive and hands-on experiences for the community, emphasizing the importance of native plants, pollinator-friendly gardening techniques, and responsible environmental stewardship. The fence will delineate the rear border of the garden and create a backdrop for eventual community murals. A community greenhouse will provide space to start and raise seedlings. This space will allow community members of all ages to gain hands-on experience planting and tending a garden, learning new skills and creating a greater awareness of the ecological impact of landscaping. The library is applying for building permits for both the fence and the greenhouse. The greenhouse will require a variance due to the restrictions on square footage allowance granted for auxiliary buildings. It is our sincere hope that the variance will be granted given the community nature of this building. As the project is grant-funded, there is limited funding available to complete the project and funding received is earmarked for specific parts of the project. On behalf of the Boston Free Library Association, I wish to request your consideration for waiving the building permit fees for the construction of a fence and greenhouse, and the variance fee for the greenhouse at the Boston Free Library. We wish to make this project a true asset to the town and inspire our community to integrate responsible environmental stewardship in their own backyards. Thank you for your consideration and for your continued support! Sincerely, Lydia Herren, Director T: (716) 941-3516 * Email: [email protected] * Member of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library
