State of North American Green Roof industry - Updated

This has been a big year in the green roof world, so I thought I would do an update on what has transpired since the inaugural post, about six months ago.

Cincinnati -

Now has a green roof loan program with five million dollars to loan to the first comers, everyone except institutions. They are so accommodating, they even posted contact information for the program manager! (Robin Henderson, robin.henderson@cincinnati-oh.gov). In the city of Cincinnati you can also now get a green roof certificate. Because of these impressive development, they get three stars all the way!

Although they are not in North America, a special mention goes to Melbourne, Australia. No money on the table yet, but they are talking about both green roofs and green walls and if other cities are any indication, chatter often comes before the cash.
