Beautiful morning for the Fayetteville Farmers’ Market.
Had a great time at today’s first annual Block St. Block Party. This is the kind of event that makes Fayetteville such a wonderful place to live.
Seven Unexpectedly Green Cities
From The Huffington Post:
Rated one of the NRDC’s green cities to watch with a population of 67,158, Fayetteville is an up and coming green city nestled in the Ozark Mountains. Fayetteville boasts an impressive farmers market in the newly renovated downtown square, featuring fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. Since 2007, Fayetteville requires all buildings greater than 5,000 square feet to be LEED-Silver Standard certified. The city also instituted Project LIGHTS to provide energy efficient light bulbs to low-income residences. Fayetteville is the first in the state to employ a Sustainability Coordinator, using the funds saved through eco-friendly measures to pay for the job.
I live here.
