Evangelidis, a former assistant district attorney and assistant state prosecutor said, “I am committed to being an innovative Sheriff for the residents of Worcester County.  That commitment would not be complete without fully exploring ways which we can promote a ‘greener’ House of Corrections while simultaneously saving the taxpayers money.  For example, there are currently studies and test turbines in place to determine the feasibility of installing wind turbines at the House of Corrections.  At the conclusion of this study we will have a clear view on the cost savings that could be associated with expanding renewable energy at the jail.” 

Evangelidis continued, “This will be a great opportunity to meet with environmental activists from Worcester County to discuss the endless possibilities of how to most efficiently utilize the hundreds of acres of land at the Sheriff’s Department.” 

In 2008 Evangelidis received the Legislator of the Year Award from the Massachusetts Recreation and Parks Association.  He has also been involved in a number of other projects in Central Massachusetts, including the restoration and revitalization of Wachusett Mountain.
