City of Orlando's Green Commitment

The City of Orlando is committed to bold and dramatic action to conserve, preserve and protect our environment and natural resources as part of its comprehensive “green program.”

The focus of the City’s Strategic Plan is a long term commitment to sustainability. Beginning in the fall of 2007, Orlando will officially implement a sweeping environmental program with targeted initiatives in the areas of: air quality, water, solid waste disposal, parks, community venues and open spaces, as well as the promotion of “green thinking” and regional environmental leadership.

Additionally, the City’s internal “Green Team” is considering various initiatives including resource conservation programs (such as reclaimed water and recycling/gasification), improvements in operating City fleets, use of green standards in procurement and adoption of green building policies, including Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design, or LEED™ certification.

Our bold environmental action agenda will transform Orlando into a leading “Florida Green City.”

Community Venues are Going Green

Green thinking has always been envisioned as a part of the design, construction and operations of the Community Venues. This commitment is demonstrated in the Interlocal Agreement between the City, County and Venue Partners.

The Amway Center will be constructed in conformance with and achieve the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification (LEED™). Similar initiatives will be pursued in the design, construction and operation of both the performing arts center and the renovation of the Citrus Bowl.
