Popularity of green roofs grows in Chicago
The popularity of green roofs has grown in Chicago partly because of a city-funded grant program for the installation of the environmental landscaping.
Green Roofs for Healthy Cities has released results of its 2011 Annual Industry Survey of Corporate Members which found that the green roof industry grew by 28.5 percent over the course of 2010, up significantly from 16 percent growth recorded in 2009.
