VCRS Earns Prestigious Award – First LEED Gold industrial building in Alaska in Mat-Su
Special congratulations to our friends at Valley Community for Recycling Solutions (VCRS) in Palmer for their recent award of the first LEED Gold Certified Industrial building in Alaska. The one year-old community-recycling center is the first industrial facility in Alaska to be LEED certified at the Gold level. LEED Is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a third-party certification program and a nationally accepted benchmark.
Recently, Mat-Su Borough Mayor Larry DeVilbiss was on site to accept a glass plaque for the achievement from VCRS staff and Friends of Mat-Su board member Mark Masteller who is the former chair of the MSB planning Commission and who currently serves as the Alaska Director for the Cascadia Green Building Council. We would like to extend our warm congratulations to the staff at VCRS and the Mat-Su borough for their leadership and innovative approach to designing a building that is cutting edge for Alaska.
