Georgetown's New Transit Station is GREEN

Georgetown's new transit station is a model of green building designed to leave a minimum carbon footprint and operate off the grid.  The new station scheduled to open in the spring of 2010 features solar panels, a rainwater collection system and an electric car charging station.
