Cherokee County's Administration and Conference Center located in Canton, Georgia received LEED Silver Certification in 2010. The three-story building holds county staff offices, as well as an auditorium and meeting rooms for rent with catering and audio-visual services. While the Green Communities Program focuses on LEED certification for this measure, other measures allow for similar green building certifications, such as EarthCraft and GreenGlobe certifications. |
