February 23, 2026

Town Of Gates Community Center

The Town of Gates, New York, is partnering with Veregy to implement high-impact infrastructure improvements that enhance comfort, safety, and efficiency. This Energy Project reflects the Town’s commitment to strengthening long-term performance while delivering measurable value to the community.

Why This Project Matters
Municipalities across the country are prioritizing reliable infrastructure, energy efficiency, and responsible use of taxpayer dollars. This project with the Town of Gates demonstrates how strategic facility investments can address urgent needs while generating measurable savings and local economic impact.

Project Breakdown
The Town of Gates was motivated by a critical need: a failing central heating system. The project replaces aging equipment with high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, along with several other essential upgrades.

  • Timeline: February – November 2026
  • Total Contract: $3,864,650
  • Guaranteed Annual Savings: $73,296 ($47,317 Energy, $25,979 Operational)
  • Community Impact: This project utilizes 100% local labor, keeping the economic benefits right there in the community.

Scope of Work
Improvements span several key locations throughout the Town:

  • Town Hall: Comprehensive HVAC overhaul, interior lighting, controls, roofing, and a new emergency generator.
  • Parks & Recreation: LED lighting upgrades at Memorial Park, Responders Park, Westgate Park, Lyons Park, and the Wegman Road Playground Building.

This project shows how strategic infrastructure investment can turn urgent facility needs into long-term operational and financial gains. Local governments across the country are using similar strategies to modernize facilities, improve operations, and maintain budget stability.
