TAMARAC IS A GREEN CITY

The City of Tamarac has officially been certified as a Florida Green Local Government. The Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the built environment through conservation efforts which recognizes local governments for exceptional environmental stewardship has designated the City of Tamarac a Florida Green Local Government.

This award designation is the culmination of a formal year-long application process involving all City Department and City employees at all levels. The City of Tamarac was certified as a Florida Green Local Government in May, 2008 at the Silver level; the first local government in South Florida to achieve that designation.  In May 2010, the City achieved the Gold level certification, one of only two cities in South Floorida (click on the link to the right for more information)!

The FGBC acknowledged the City of Tamarac’s commitment to the environment and praised innovative green practices such as BSO Police being trained in crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), use of energy saving computer equipment, the availability of a number of free and discounted green products, and a vast majority of City medians, streetscapes and facilities being certified as Florida Friendly landscapes. 

The City of Tamarac is the first municipality to be awarded the designation in South Florida and also the first City in Broward to win the award.
