The California Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA) has awarded the City of West Hollywood a 2008 "Outstanding Innovation in Green Community Planning" Award for the West Hollywood Green Building Program to be presented at an awards luncheon at the State APA Conference on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood. As an APA-State winner, the City has also qualified for submission to the National APA Awards Program.
The American Planning Association is a nonprofit public interest and research organization representing 43,000 practicing planners, officials, and citizens involved with urban and rural planning issues. Sixty-five percent of APA's members work for state and local government agencies.
The West Hollywood Green Building Program was written by Global Green USA. Newsweek wrote an article about the program late last year.
