Promoting Sustainability

CCOM’s core belief is that a truly sustainable community is achieved through thoughtful planning, code enforcement, and adherence to environmentally responsible practices.

Let’s Create the Community We Want

The environmental priorities and objectives outlined in the Montauk Hamlet Plan, adopted by the East Hampton Town Board in 2020, address important, timely, and critical environmental issues facing the Montauk Community, including surface and groundwater pollution, beach erosion, climate change and sea level rise. CCOM actively participates in the committees working to address these priorities and believes that continued public engagement and contribution will help drive both immediate and critical long-term changes.

CCOM also believes a comprehensive portfolio of renewable and alternative energies must be combined with extensive energy conservation. CCOM is supportive of East Hampton Town’s NYS-certified designation as a Climate Smart Community, having completed more than 40 “Climate-Smart” actions.

CCOM is committed to the principle that the enjoyment of our natural resources need not come at the expense of our environment. To that end, CCOM advocates for sustainable land management, including non-toxic gardening practices, invasive species awareness and action, recycling, and litter reduction.
