The Midtown Alliance is setting up a blueprint for environmental sustainability in hopes of becoming what it termed Wednesday as “the South’s first urban eco-district.”
The program, called Greenprint Midtown, will pull together community stakeholders and experts to identify priorities in energy and water efficiencies, “clean" transportation, recycling programs and waste reduction and green space.
The process is set to begin March 1 with a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Fifth Floor Conference Center at 999 Peachtree Street. Those wanting to attend are asked to sign up via email at EcoDistrict@midtownalliance.org.
The Midtown Alliance is partnering with the non-profit Southface and Sustainable Atlanta.
Officials said the planning program is receiving grants through the Atlanta Regional Commission, Kendeda Fund and the Midtown Improvement District.
