Welcome to the Flatwater Chapter Website!
The USGBC-Flatwater Chapter was formed in September 2004. Our mission maintains energy and momentum as the cycle revolves from education to encouraging implementation, to exploring and trying. This develops more material for education and thus becomes a sustainable entity. |
