Mayor Davlin: Let's make Springfield #1 green city

Mayor Tim Davlin spoke to the new Cool Cities Advisory Council Wednesday and said he wants to see Springfield ranked as a top environmental city.

NRDC recognized Springfield earlier this month as one of only 22 "2010 Smarter Cities" leading the way on clean energy. It's the latest in a string of recognitions the city has received for investing in wind power and energy efficiency.

Mayor Davlin said he's happy to see Springfield often named on lists of top green cities, but he wants to do more. He asked the Cool Cities Advisory Council to help find new ways to make Springfield #1!
