Green Business

The Green Business Program recognizes all businesses and public agencies who successfully demonstrate full compliance with local environmental regulations and take action beyond what is required to implement environmentally sound practices in four areas– energy efficiency, water conservation, solid and hazardous waste reduction, and pollution prevention. The Green Business certificate must be renewed every three years.
