Last week, the New Orleans’ Times Picayune ran an article about a green housing program being launched this month in Mandeville, Louisiana, providing more evidence that “green building” efforts in Louisiana are growing.
According to the article, Mandeville is the third Louisiana community to participate in the “EnviRenew” program from the Salvation Army, with the first and second communities being Broadmoor and Riverview.
On their website, EnviRenew defines its mission as follows:
Envirenew, is a comprehensive strategy for community renewal. It is doing the most good in our neighborhoods and for the future of our city.
The program will build 20-25 homes in the Mandeville area, with each costing approximately $200,000, and each qualifying for LEED certification. It will be an excellent opportunity for contracts with green experience to work on LEED projects, and for inexperienced green builders to participate on a project undergoing the certification process.
