Target to Build Green Store
Big box stores by their very nature are not green. However, Target has been trying to brush up its image with reusable bags, biodegradable gift cards and recycling electronics. Now the company is to build it's first store that will be in the running for LEED Silver Certification.
East Liberty, Pennsylvania will be the site of Target's new 152,000 square foot, green store. Instead of building a wide store over 10 to 15 acres as it does in the suburbs, Target will be building up 42 feet with a ground floor parking garage. Sure there's a building demolition that has to happen first, but that apparently doesn't count against them.
The building should be complete within a year and half at which time the company will be seeking LEED Certification.
