The mission of the Green Center of Central Pennsylvania is to serve as a highly-recognized Central Pennsylvania hub for education, training, and information relating to green technologies and sustainable lifestyle and practice, and to function as a driving force behind the application of green technologies and practices in the Central Pennsylvania region.

What's the Bright IDEA

The Center will become the primary information source for the practicality, cost, and availability of green technologies in Central Pennsylvania and for the most appropriate green practice and lifestyle for this region. The Center will also host public information seminars on green technology and practices.

The partners will respond to the needs of business, industry, and municipalities by providing customized training, consulting, and the implementation of green technology.

HACC and other academic partners will collaborate to offer degree and non-degree classes in green subjects ranging from solar photovoltaic installation to green building design and construction.

Area professional firms with green emphasis will be recruited to join the center, to collaborate with each other and the schools in green building and community projects in the area, and to assist in the Center’s educational mission.
