Greensburg Kansas Still Recovering from 2007 Tornado

Greensburg, Kansas, 90% destroyed in an F-5 tornado in May 2007, continues its effort to recover and reinvent itself as a sustainable community.   http://www.greensburgks.org/



The town continues to get recognition for its heroic recovery efforts.  There was the Discovery Channel's Planet Green multi-year series on Greensburg, ongoing news coverage of recovery effort and recently an article from the Earthtechling.com "green tech" blog From Devastation To LEED: A Small Town Story

Here is a link to see the early Long Term Community Recovery Plan that helped to launch this long term recovery process.
