Green Efforts and The Phoenix Hill District, Attempting To Be Marketed As NuLu
Gill Holland has become a major player in the green movement in Kentucky. His biggest achievement would be The Green Building (Louisville, Kentucky). The building has become a staple of the movement in the Phoenix Hill district, attempting to be marketed as NuLu. His goal with this district, is to create a locally run area that showcases local restaurants, locally grown food and buildings that use sustainable resources. Holland was quoted by The Lane Report saying “There’s a saying that the Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone,” he said. “The coal age is not going to end because we run out of coal. I’m all about incentivizing people to change, (but) not mandating it or telling them (they have) to do it.” about the green movement. The Green Building (Louisville, Kentucky), was only step one. Now Holland, who is the poster child for the green movement in Kentucky, has more plans to make Kentucky a green state as well. He was instrumental in helping Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer hire its first Director of Sustainability.
