Green College Station

Green CSSustainability and resource conservation has become a constant on the local government landscape. The International City County Management Association (ICMA) launched a major policy discussion designed to help local communities to successfully conceptualize and launch programs in response to the growing desire by local governments to address this global concern.

There is a clear case to be made for sustainability and conservation of resources in College Station. Our emphasis on the quality of life for the community demands that we aggressively work towards creating a culture in the community which embraces sustainability as its mantra. See our Green College Station White Paper for details.
