How can your home save YOU money and help the earth at the same time? Find out from  Green Building and Development, Good for the Community, Good for the Environment by Leon Church, President of Sweetwood Development Corporation of Appleton and ECOS-FV, the local sustainability coalition of the Fox Valley.

Sweetwood Development is the developer of Neenah’s “Cottages at Woodside”, the new green community now under construction. Leon highlighs the many design aspects that make projects like his a deeper shade of green. Find out:

• What is sustainable development and what can it mean to YOU?
• How can you make better material and product selections?
• How can such developments improve the water quality for our community?
• How can alternative energy options be integrated into development?
• What are the green building guidelines that developers use today?

For over 20 years, Leon has ventured into design/build residential construction, residential and commercial remodeling, and land development, always striving to be innovative, always looking for a new twist to an old idea, and always testing the marketplace for acceptance of new concepts.

He notes that as is the case with many manufacturers and businesses across the state, the housing industry is becoming more aware of methods to build homes and develop neighborhoods in ways that complement and enhance the natural environment.  Making them work together for the good of the environment and the good of humanity is the guiding force behind much of what we do in creating innovative yet affordable housing.

Builders and developers recognize the importance of planning for future generations while meeting the needs of today.

Leon is currently a member of the Wisconsin Builders Association Development Council and the Valley Home Builders Association Developers Council. He has been an integral part of the Green Tier development program and in May of 2007 was the first builder/developer to receive Wisconsin’s Tier 1 certification under the new ECCo-Dev Charter.

Questions can be directed to Roger Kanitz, Co-Chair of ECOS-FV at 722-6438 or the office of Sweetwood Development at 739-4111.
