Green businesses bloom in Oak Park…The Oak Park Green Business Program, in partnership with the Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC) at the University of Illinois, has provided more than 20 green assessments for local businesses to identify cost savings and ways to help the environment. Green business assessments review a business’ operations, utilities and equipment to identify low to no-cost savings opportunities that benefit a business’ bottom line and the environment. A report is provided that outlines unique cost and environmental savings opportunities, as well as connects businesses to utility incentive programs. Beyond Properties Realty and the Downtown Oak Park business association have already reached Illinois Green Business Certification across six areas of sustainability. SEDAC is still accepting participants in the Oak Park Green Business Program. Interested business operators are encouraged to visit www.sustainoakpark.com/greenbusinessprogram or contact ccarrol2@illinois.edu or 217.300.644 for more information.
