Not only is Maryland going green, but the state is also drawing like-minded businesses.

Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services, who entered the Baltimore region as part of its recent merger with Mercantile Bankshares, has grand green plans. A growing trend in developments, environmentally friendly or “green” constructions are built with their surroundings in mind and are able to utilize conservation-oriented technology. After absorbing offices from Mercantile as part of the agreement, PNC will retrofit green building trends into its newest locations when it rebrands the branches this fall, Darcel Kimble, PNC senior manager of external communications, told The Examiner.
