Celebrate Creve Coeur's Success at Going Green This Week

The city of Creve Coeur will celebrate its completion of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Green Power Community (GPC) Challenge, according to a news release posted on Creve Coeur Patch.

"The city obtained GPC status by successfully meeting the EPA’s target goal of switching 3% of their energy use to clean power sources through the installation of solar electric systems and the enrollment in Ameren’s Renewable Energy Purchase program, Pure Power," the release stated.

The community is invited to celebrate the designation from from 5 - 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 25 at the Millenium Park “Tappmeyer House”.  

The EPA will present the city with the award and street signs that will be places around the city acknowledging the new status.
