Green City Business Program Receives Award

The City of Fort Wayne’s Green City Business Program received the Technology Solutions Award presented by Public Technology Institute. The Washington D.C. based group recognized Fort Wayne’s Green City program for its efforts to merge ecological, economic and social factors in an effort to create a sustainable community.

Fort Wayne's program focuses on sustainability by training businesses to have better environmental practices that reduce operating costs. The Green City Business program offers live interactive training that help businesses understand what they can do to make their business more "green" and save money on energy costs.
