A Green Neighborhood
The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded the Grandview Yard development pre-certification as a LEED Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) Plan, making it one of the first developments in the Midwest to become pre-certified as a LEED-ND Silver Plan community. The development is currently pursuing the LEED-ND Sustainable Education (IDPC1.4) credit at Stage 2 of the LEED Neighborhood Development System. Once certified, Grandview Yard would be the first in Ohio, and the largest development in the US, at approximately 78 acres based on the revised boundary, to achieve certification under this rating system.
