Lindsey Paige-McCloy has been named Palm Springs’ sustainability director.

Currently program director at Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, Paige-McCloy is scheduled to begin her new job Aug. 1, according to a statement on the city’s website.

With Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator she designs, implements, and evaluates clean technology pilot projects.

“We are very excited to welcome Lindsey-Paige McCloy to Palm Springs,” City Manager Justin Clifton said in the statement. “She has a unique skillset that will help greatly expand our work in sustainability and implementation of our Climate Action Plan.”
