"Mayor Michael B. Coleman launched the “Get
Green Columbus” initiative January
28, 2005. A “Green Memo” was
issued outlining a series of
strategies to both meet economic
development goals and ensure
a healthier environment. The
document provides a policy framework for our
community as we come together to address these
goals. It outlines changes in city operations to
improve efficiency and environmental sensitivity.
It also directs our agencies to use the City’s
purchasing power and investment incentives to
encourage job creation."
