Presidio nation’s first “green” neighborhood

The Presidio’s Public Health Service District — a mixed-use neighborhood with housing, open space, and educational facilities — has earned the first-in-the-nation Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. “We take great pride in our track record of applying green building and design practices to historic preservation to create welcoming and beautiful contemporary spaces,” said Craig Middleton, executive director of the Presidio Trust.
