Local governments who received the recognition earned “green points” by implementing or adopting up to 30 policies and actions from 11 categories ranging from energy efficiency and green buildings to land-use and innovation.  Amassing between 100 and 124 “green points” out of a possible 200 earned certification as a “Green Government.”

Twenty-five cities, towns and counties participated in the 2011 Green Government Challenge.  And of those 25, 20 achieved the minimum score of 100 “green points” that was necessary for certification as a “VML Green Government.”

The certificates and awards were presented at the VML Annual Conference in Henrico County on Oct. 4.
