24. Apache Junction, Arizona
September 13, 2008
On Saturday, September 13, during a Habitat for Humanity
groundbreaking at Ironwood Trails in Apache Junction,
Habitat announced that because of the example set forth
by the City of Apache Junction, they would be making each
home LEED certified. They are too late in making the
“community” LEED certified but they can still individually
certify each home given that they build each home Energy
Star and of course due to the SRP donated Solar Panels.
This is a wonderful achievement for Habitat and the
community of Apache Junction.
