Bluegreen Resort MountainLoft Awarded Silver Designation in Gatlinburg Goes Green Program
Boca Raton, FL (August 23, 2010) -– Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play, recently announced that its MountainLoft timeshare resort has been awarded the Silver Designation in the Gatlinburg Goes Green Program by the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce. The Gatlinburg Goes Green Program consists of a group of concerned business owners and citizens of Gatlinburg, TN, who are dedicated to keeping Gatlinburg a great place to live, work and visit. It is also home to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and an International Biosphere.
Green designations are awarded based on a business’s commitment and continuous improvement of their operations in order to reduce environmental impact. The Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce and the Green Workgroup continue to educate Chamber Members on the necessary steps to improving their business’ environmental impact.
“With a corporate name like Bluegreen, we find even additional importance in demonstrating environmental awareness to our guests and employees,” says Dave Pontius, President, Bluegreen Services. “With the MountainLoft Silver Designation from the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce, we now have over 20 green designations in five states, and we’re working towards obtaining more.”
Bluegreen’s MountainLoft timeshare resort also hosts Colorful Ways to Play events in which September is “Focus on the Green” month.
