St Petersburg, Florida is getting greener. Mayor Rick Baker and the City Council declared their intention to make St Pete, the Sunshine City, a "green city". Through LEED they now have earned Silver status and are now pursuing Platinum status.

Yes, janeAnne, we're going green, too.

We have green homes, green builders and green developments in the Tampa Bay area. A St Pete project proposed by Grady Pridgen is planned with a "green" roof.

From the air, St. Pete shows even more green trees than you're aware of when you're walking around. For years it's been a priority to plant trees and flowering bushes in the median of I-275 and along neighborhood streets.  Now we're not just green outside, we're making our buildings green as well.

We know that more people are concerned about Green, and that they are looking for Green homes - soon they'll be looking for Green cities as well.
