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.

The rainwater collection tank is artfully screened.  The station is part of the Capital Area Rural Transportation System or CARTS for short.

Looks good and it seems that they've covered most of the options.  Great example of what can be done with a bit of imagination and work.

Looks like a very artistic building Mike.  Glad to hear it will be 'green'
