Green Roofs for Healthy Cities

May 31st, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123 Triad

In 1999, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, a small network consisting of public and private organizations, was founded as a direct result of a research project on the benefits of green roofs and barriers to industry development entitled “Greenbacks from Green Roofs” prepared by Steven Peck, Monica Kuhn, Dr. Brad Bass and Chris Callaghan. Green Roofs for Healthy Cities - North America Inc. is now a rapidly growing not-for-profit industry association working to promote the industry throughout North America.

In 2004, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities became a formal industry association registered as a not-for-profit 501(c)(6). It is managed under contract to the Cardinal Group Inc., the firm that originally established the organization, and run by an independent board.

Mini Cities

May 31st, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123 Triad

Mini Cities was founded on the understanding that people who live in beautiful suburban communities want to live, work, eat, play - basically everything - in those communities! The problem was that so often finding information about your neighborhood businesses was impossible sure you could find businesses, but scattered all across town. Mini Cities is the solution! They bring information about life in the suburbs to you!

Founded by Ana and Steve Abraham, Mini Cities was created to solve that very problem in New Tampa, Florida. After leaving her career in Web Marketing and Software Project management to have their first son, Jack, Ana was frustrated by the lack of information available online about their beautiful new suburban community. Teased by their city friends who warned them dont move to the suburbs they chose to bring the city convenience they loved to the suburbs and NewTampaDirectory.com was born!

Living Cities

May 28th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123 Triad

Cities are among their nation’s greatest assets, driving regional economies, making America competitive in the global marketplace, and enhancing the quality of their lives. Living Cities has been adding to their value since 1991, when several major foundations, and financial institutions formed the National Community Development Initiative. The longevity of this unique, hands-on partnership is unprecedented. So are the power and prestige of their partners, who head some of the nation’s foremost philanthropic and financial institutions.

Living Cities does more than make grants and investments. Sharing ideas, expertise and resources, they actively engage and collaborate in community development, sponsor important research, and promote policies that benefit cities and the people who live and work in them. Working together gives them the leverage and scale to make an impact on urban America no sector or single institution could achieve on its own.
