King County Helps Commercial Building Projects 'Go Green' With Grants to Owners
Applications now available for 2007 grants
Three new buildings – one in rural south King County, one on an agricultural site near Woodinville and another at Bellevue's Mercer Slough – have received grants from King County for their low-impact, sustainable designs.
In an effort to encourage higher performance green commercial buildings that conserve energy and minimize waste, King County's GreenTools Program has awarded its first round of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Grants.
Under the new program, commercial building owners and developers across King County (excluding Seattle) were eligible to receive up to $25,000 in funds to help encourage higher performance green buildings.
Recipients are also eligible to receive free technical assistance through the GreenTools Program, which is administered through the county's Solid Waste Division (SWD).
