Life City helps enable
city governments and regional economic development organizations to
spur economic growth through social and environmental impact. They do this
by (1) helping governments create the right incentives for businesses
to create social and environmental impact, (2) providing services to
businesses to make them more socially and environmentally impactful
while earning more revenue, and (3) measuring their results and sharing
that with the region. Water Works is Life City Certified. We are currently offering a one hour business continuity consultation for
fellow Green Businesses, and a home Joy of Water consultation for Green
Card members.
