In a press release, the United States Green Building Council, in National Studies Show Green Building as Key Part of America’s Economic Future: Green Building Creates Green Jobs that Save Energy and Money, elaborates on the future value of investing in renewable, energy-cost saving construction. The U.S. Green Building Council administers the LEED certification program, which is the standard in green building materials, design, and construction techniques.
The “Green Economy” will receive a focus in any economic stimulus plan and investing in energy efficient products and design will continue to be a smart component of sustainable economic development. With our location in the Nashville MSA yet being in an attainment zone, Hickman County is a natural place for green manufacturing jobs.
