They did not just rebuild. They rebuilt better and GREENER!
The greening of Greensburg was a way to rebrand the community, says
the town’s current mayor, Bob Dixson, but more importantly, it was about
“building a community back as our ancestors built for us — a community
to last.”
In the years that followed, Greensburg would rise from the rubble,
replete with LEED-certified municipal buildings; a “net metering policy”
that makes solar and wind power more affordable for residents; and a
new town master plan [ginormous PDF!] that includes things like green corridors and a walkable downtown
