TOWN OF BLACK CREEK is recognized as an NCLM Green Challenge municipality

Raleigh, NC – October 30, 2009 …. The town of BLACK CREEK has been honored as an NCLM Green Challenge municipality by the N.C. League of Municipalities. BLACK CREEK achieved status by completing specific activities and projects to save energy, natural resources and money.

Cities and towns that achieved NCLM Green Challenge status were honored at the NCLM Annual Conference, October 25-27, 2009, at the Greenville Convention Center.

“Municipalities continue to lead the way in implementing sustainable operations and innovations that save energy, natural resources and money,” said Morehead City Mayor Jerry Jones, 2008-2009 NCLM president. “The League is proud to honor these cities and towns that have made tough decisions that will have a positive impact on their communities, citizens, region and state for years to come.”

The NCLM Green Challenge was the brainchild two years ago of then-NCLM President Susan Burgess, Charlotte council member, as a way to honor those municipalities that have taken the initiative to conserve energy and natural resources at the local government level.

Approximately 80 North Carolina municipalities achieved Level One Green Challenge status last year. This year, 22 more have been approved for Advanced Level while 13 have been approved for Intermediate Level. In addition, four municipalities joined the ranks of the Level One Green Challenge communities this year.

“It is so exciting to see so many municipalities across the state continue to work hard on sustainability issues,” said Burgess. “We will no doubt see municipal officials from these cities and towns share their good ideas with others over the next months and years so that more communities can save energy, natural resources and the taxpayers’ money.”

Founded in 1908, the League is a voluntary, nonpartisan association of more than 540 cities, towns and villages in North Carolina. The League advocates for municipalities at the state and federal level and provides a variety of direct services.
