Muckle is a manager of government relations for Safeway, which recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of Georgetown’s “Social Safeway” with the announcement that it received a LEED certification. He says getting the building certified as environmentally friendly will better connect the store with the community. It’s the first grocery store in the District to be noted for being green by the U.S. Green Building Council. Why get LEED certification?
At the time, it wasn’t something we had to do, but something we wanted to do. It helped build a relationship with the community. We have another LEED-certified Safeway in Santa Cruz, Calif.
