Community Support
“The Green Building Resource Center is and should be regarded as a leader to be followed in our
community. By providing education and resources for decision-makers, the GBRC has leapt ahead in the industry by providing much needed services that will undeniably help our community and our environment. I am looking forward to seeing them expand these phenomenal services throughout the rest of the country to help ensure that future developments are implementing cutting-edge products for budgets and the environment.” – Tia Diaz-Balart, CEO & Founder, The EcoChamber
“While many people and companies over the past few years have adopted and implemented the green lifestyle, the GBRC will allow a constant reference point to be up to date on all that is happening in the green movement and offer ongoing education to industry professionals. By offering up so many benefits to public and business alike, it is again my pleasure to endorse the practices of this project and will offer up continued support on future initiatives on this matter.” – Don Farrell, Advertising Director, Miami New Times
“I am writing this to express my appreciation and support for the outstanding job Metro 1 Properties has done in pulling together the Green Resource Center. As an active member of the Miami Branch of the USGBC and communications committee chair, I see so much sincere interest in furthering the practice of Green Building but simultaneously a genuine confusion as to “how to get involved” and “where to start”. – Louise Bendix, USGBC Miami & The Keys Communications Committee Chair
“Metro 1 shares our same vision and passion and this is why we are their number one fans and will support them with their cause. Metro 1 has constantly supported our business and they will continually support all of the small green businesses that are single handedly spearheading the change.” – Cesar Conde, Partner, Pizza Fusion & Principal, Casa Conde Design
Merecedes Electric Supply, Inc. fully supports the effots of the Green Building Resource Center. We, as an electrical material supplier and an important part of the local construction industry, believe this space will play a key role in the future development of more sustainable building practices in the Miami area. – Donato Helbling, Application Engineer, LEED AP
“The buildings in which we live, work, and play have an integral role in the quality of our lives. The GBRC recognizes this and has proven to be a valuable resource in our community. I have had the pleasure of attending several educational and awareness events sponsored by the center. The content is of the highest quality and the events are among the most professionally managed I have seen. Your program is instrumental in providing our community with first hand guidance on Green Building practices and products.” – Kevin Cassell, CEO & Founder, Natural Capital
“We have worked in the past with Metro 1 Green Building Resource Center and have found them to be dedicated to their mission, progressive with their approach and leaders in our community. As Miami gravitates towards becoming a leader in the “eco-friendly” lifestyle and implementing “green” in every day living, Metro 1 Green Building Resource Center will become a larger resource in our community. Metro 1 Green Building Resource Center is undoubtedly a strong leading force and unifying component in our community. “ – Violette Sproul, CEO, Spinning Palms LLC
“We at Life Is Art, Inc. would like to express our support for Metro 1’s effort to create the Green Building Resource Center. Miami has a long way to go in being a truly environmentally responsible city and only through the resources such as they propose to provide will that become a reality.” – James Echols, Life Is Art, Inc.
