When the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns looked at cities with a population over 50,000, it found the most green municipality to be Fishers.  The city was given the award at a September 30th luncheon.

“Striving for environmental sustainability is a priority among all departments,” stated Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “I’ve challenged my team to make smart decisions today that lead to a vibrant community in the future, and this award validates many of those smart decisions being made in Fishers.”

In applying for this honor, city officials cited several items, including:

–plans for high efficiency HVAC replacements and installations

–a pesticide management policy promoting eco-friendly practices

–real-time modernization of traffic signals

–a rain barrel program

–a no idle policy for city fleet vehicles

–sustainable growth plans for our trail system,

The City looks to once again provide the annual fall recycling day, scheduled to take place on Halloween.
