Town of Menasha firms get first sustainability designations

From an article by Michael King in the Appleton Post-Crescent:

TOWN OF MENASHA — SCA Tissue North America and Miron Construction Co. Inc., neighbors in a westside town business park, were recognized recently by the Town Board for their healthy and sustainable practices.

The firms were the first recipients of the town's Healthy, Sustainable Business Network designation that seeks to recognize and encourage collaborative efforts.

"This is the first in the state of Wisconsin for any business to be recognized as part of a Healthy, Sustainable Business Network," said Margie Weiss of the Weiss Health Group, a sustainability expert serving on the town advisory committee that reviewed business applications.

SCA Tissue has pursued alternative energy (solar and wind turbine) projects at its McMahon Business Park office, where it also works with Miron and McMahon in environmental research and restoration projects.
