The city of Tallahassee was honored last week by the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) as a Gold Certified Green City. Tallahassee is the first city in Florida to be awarded a Gold Designation under the FGBC Green City Local Government Standard. This is a move upward from the Silver award Tallahassee received last year. The FGBC is an independent non-profit organization established in 2000 to promote green building construction practices in Florida.
The Tallahassee community is really serious about doing what it can to be environmentally sound and reducing the concrete footprint of town, especially compared to most urban developments.
This award for the city has to do with their internal focus of things like paperless payroll, but this just mirrors our other efforts in protecting wildlife, preserving trees, creating water retention areas etc.
For more information on this award you can visit www.talgov.com .
To see for yourself, come visit us sometime. Tallahassee is a great place to work, play and live!
