Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation revitalized a distressed and abandoned motel into a beautiful and affordable 42-unit green housing development that meets the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Platinum standards and is 100 percent solar-powered. As a result of the high quality construction, the families who live here save 43 percent on their energy bills and 36 percent on their water bills. To ensure the continuing high-performance of the apartments, all residents receive hands on training and a manual to inform them how to maintain the energy efficient features of their new homes.
