Where are the LEED projects in the Cincinnati Region?
The Chapter Communications Member Circle strives to publish a web page on every LEED Certified project in our region. Click on the directory by selecting Regional LEED Projects in the masthead. The number of projects is growing rapidly and we could use help updating the website. If you would like to be on the cutting edge of what's green in the region, please volunteer. It's easy and fun to learn about new green buildings and add them to the site. Contact communications@usgbc-cincinnati.org to volunteer. Thanks.
