Who We Are

The Leon County’s Office of Sustainability operates under the Leon County Board of County Commissioners. Established on February 1, 2009, the Office of Sustainability’s mission is to initiate and maintain a commitment to sustainable practices within Leon County operations and our community. Community education and outreach are key to the County’s program. The Summit is evidence to our commitment to creating a better tomorrow through learning.

Pursuing a sustainable future takes a team approach. Various Departments and Divisions within the County contribute to our goals. A Sustainable Operations Team was created to help guide the development and implementation of sustainable efforts within County operations.
