Carmel is a Green Community

0

The Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) announced recently that Carmel has been designated as an IACT Green Community. Carmel received its designation during an Annual Awards Luncheon on Oct. 3 during the 2012 IACT Annual Conference and Exhibition in French Lick.

IACT launched the Green Communities Initiative to identify potential cost savings to communities facing budget shortfalls, promote economically competitive quality of life concepts and ultimately serve as role models for citizens while better protecting our environment. The initiative will expand educational opportunities for municipalities and create a consolidated clearinghouse of data and programs that can be accessed by municipalities.

To be recognized as an IACT Green Community, Carmel had to meet a minimum score on a 51-question survey in the areas of purchasing, operations, measuring success, and sample projects, with scoring considerations given to the size of the community and the likelihood it would or could implement certain types of programs.
