Washington, D.C. [August 20, 2010] - ICLEI–Local Governments for Sustainability USA (ICLEI USA) in partnership with the Virginia Municipal League's (VML) Go Green Virginia initiative announced the selection of four outstanding communities to participate in Virginia's Green Community Challenge. The Green Community Challenge is a friendly competition among Virginia communities to develop specific environmental policies and implement practical actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address local sustainability.
The four communities selected are: Town of Blacksburg, Loudoun County, City of Norfolk and City of Roanoke. They were chosen for their continued commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing sustainable communities and have all previously received certification in the Green Government Challenge, a highly successful initiative developed in 2009, which provided the guidance and expertise necessary to build the Green Community Challenge.
