Sacramento Looks to Concrete for Green Solutions

Prior to the Greenbuild 2012 Expo last week in San Francisco, Senior National Resource Director Jon Hansen was invited to meet and discuss sustainable infrastructure information with Sacramento, CA, city planners. He focused on concrete overlays of asphalt as a cost competitive, heat island reducing alternative to asphalt and the use of pervious concrete, either in standalone applications or incorporated into the design of plain and pervious concrete applications.

The meeting was arranged by Paulette Salisbury with the Californian Nevada Cement Association and was also attended by Carolyn Ewing, president of the Ewing Group, a consulting firm that specializes in local and state improvement initiatives.
