Last week, USGBC-STL held our first-ever Growing Green Award Celebration to recognize the individuals, companies and organizations that are transforming the built environment in a more environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy place. The event exceeded expectations with a sold out crowd of 200! Originally expecting three to four nominations in each of the seven categories, the planning committee was overwhelmed with categories containing up to nineteen nominations.

Kyle Hunsberger, Director of Construction for Habitat for Humanity St. Louis delivered a keynote address on the importance of building sustainably and announced the fantastic news that Habitat for Humanity St. Louis recently achieved LEED Platinum Certification on 27 homes in the City of St. Louis!
