Walker's Grille Celebrates 1st Anniversary and Is Recognized as First Virginia LEED Gold Restaurant
Local restaurant Walker's Grille celebrates their First Anniversary and is the first restaurant in Virignia to be LEED Gold Certified for sustainable environmental practices.
On March 7, celebrated their 1st Anniversary and the recognition of being the first LEED Gold Certified restaurant in all of Virginia. Wow! That is a terrific recognition for co-owners Jason Musleh and Sam Misleh.
Walker’s Grille is a family-owned restaurant that promotes sustainable practices through implementing a green design and green restaurant strategies. Being environmentally responsible was a priority for Sam and Jason as they opened this new restaurant and has led to this important recognition.
Walker’s Grille uses practices and equipment that will reduce energy consumption, water usage and has implemented a rigid recycling program, which will effectively reduce the restaurant’s carbon footprint and maintain the existing sustainable efforts that are already in place. The restaurant will serve as a “greening” model and example to other restaurants in Fairfax County and throughout the Metro area.
