Harvest Green - Even James C. Neill Elementary School's Bonds Are Green

Harvest’s Green’s new on-site school, James C. Neill Elementary, will not only be a green school, its construction will be partially funded by green bonds.

According to an article published in the Houston Business Journal, the Fort Bend Independent School District will make history by becoming the first district in Texas to issue green bonds, which will finance the environmentally-sustainable construction of three new elementary schools, including Neill.

The schools will be designed to LEED standards and will include green features such as building materials with higher levels of recycled content, energy efficient HVAC equipment, and heat reducing features such as light-colored building materials and green space.
