Mayor Launches Greener Denver Climate Prosperity Program

Posted by TheHomeCart.com on Monday, March 23rd, 2009 at 9:52am.

“Greener Denver is a triple win for our community, benefiting our businesses, our environment and our economy,” Mayor John Hickenlooper said March 17 in a Denver Office of Economic Development press release.  “It will help local businesses save money, grow the demand for green products and services and train the green workforce of the future.”

Greener Denver, a strategic initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand economic opportunities for local businesses. Denver is one of eight cities selected last fall by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to participate in its Climate Prosperity Project. The city’s initiative is designed to transform the economy, achieve climate goals and ensure social equity in a sustainable future. It builds on Mayor Hickenlooper’s Greenprint Denver initiative and the new energy economy taking hold in this region.

Specifically, the initiative will:

  • Increase energy-efficiency and the use of renewable energy and expand “smart growth” investments by business and community.
  • Expand the growth of Denver’s clean technology industry and increase green supply chain development.
  • Increase workforce training and certification for clean technology and green supply chain and develop clean technology entrepreneurs.
