Council Members  Midtown Alliance and Jack Dozier were both winners at last Friday’s E3 awards, sponsored by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and Atlanta Business Chronicle.  The awards highlight companies, organizations and individuals who are working to conserve metro Atlanta’s natural resources and to develop clean technologies that will enhance our economy and environment, support sustainable projects and initiatives and to collaborate on solutions through university connections, marketing and education.

Midtown Alliance was recognized for their GreenPrint Midtown Plan, which focuses on sustainability and development, to create an urban-eco district, with focus on a pedestrian, transit-oriented community, that includes more bike lanes, efficient LED lighting, bioswales and increased recycling efforts.

Congratulations to Kevin Green, president and CEO of Midtown Alliance and his dedicated staff on their achievement.
