On February 28, 2011, Columbus City Council authorized the first four grants under this program, thus encumbering 24% of the one million dollar fund. These grant awards went to two LEED projects - the Wesley Glen Wellness Center and the Capital Park Family Health Center - and for Brownfield assessment work at two sites - 421-435 West State Street and 154-164 South Yale Avenue.
