San Jose Green Vision Named Best Sustainable Development Program in U.S. by IEDC

SanJose


The City of San Jose's Office of Economic Development (OED) was presented with an award from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) for its leadership role in the San Jose Green Vision, the City's sustainable development program.  Competing in the category of Sustainable and Green Development, San Jose OED was cited as a clear standout with the San Jose Green Vision program.

The San Jose Green Vision program set 10 ambitious goals for environmental protection and economic development. This 15-year plan, which debuted in Oct. 2007 by Mayor Reed, envisions creating 25,000 Clean Tech jobs, building or retrofitting 50 million square feet of green buildings, installing 100,000 solar roofs accounting for 1/10 of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Million Solar Roofs Plan for California, reducing per capita electricity use by half, becoming a zero waste city, recycling and reusing 100 percent of the city's water, and moving to 100 percent renewable energy.
