Peachtree Corners receives Green Communities certification

The Atlanta Regional Commission has honored Peachtree Corners with certification as a Green Community.

The award is in recognition of the city’s efforts to conserve energy, reduce waste and protect natural resources:

The city provides a public drop-off location for cell phones, household batteries and ink cartridges, and provides a database of local recycling opportunities for residents.
The city encourages businesses to redevelop aging buildings within the existing Technology Park and other under-utilized locations rather than build on undeveloped land. In addition the city encourages recycling by providing incentives for businesses to locate recycling facilities in the city limits.
The city has also adopted a 'night sky" ordinance to reduce excess light pollution and conserve energy and provide incentives for timer-controlled sign lighting and use of high-efficiency LED lamps.
Finally, Peachtree Corners has installed electric vehicle charging stations at city hall.
