Steamboat Springs LEED Gold Project

Hello all..Thought I would share our exciting news in Steamboat. We've just become the first city in the nation to consider LEED gold certification such a public benefit as to provide variances and approve a new residential, mixed-use development in the downtown area. Ironically when City Council made the decision to approve after a year long application process by the developer, they had no idea that they were entering new territory. We are very excited (as is the developer!) to see how far our community is coming in the sustainability world!
