Great first meeting last week:
Organizers expected to see about 70 people attend their first meeting last Thursday to form a new Rhode Island chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, designed to promote green building standards throughout the state.
More than 100 architects, lawyers, engineers, government officials and scientists showed up and kept talking, even after the meeting was scheduled to conclude at 6 p.m.
“People clapped after every presentation. I had coffee and water to serve, but nobody got up. People were very enthusiastic,” said Connie McGreavy, who headed a steering committee that set up the meeting at the New England Institute of Technology.
