Earlier this year, on May 26, it was announced at the GreeningUSA Annual Meeting that the Syracuse Center of Excellence had been given a GreeningUSA “Greening Our Community” Award in the category of “Research and Development” for convening parties around issues such as green infrastructure, EPA grant opportunities, LEED building and brownfield remediation.

Because of conflicting schedules, GreeningUSA was finally able to present the award in person on July 28 at their Board meeting in the Center of Excellence.

Accepting on behalf of the Syracuse Center of Excellence were Edward A. Bogucz and Mark Lichtenstein.
