GreenWheaton is a joint sub-committee of the Wheaton Redevelopment Advisory Committee (WRAC) and the Wheaton Urban District Advisory Committee (WUDAC) dedicated to applying environmentally-friendly building and planning technologies to the Wheaton downtown and the surrounding neigborhoods.

Through Public Education and Outreach, GreenWheaton plans to:

• Reduce the community's carbon footprint

• Support the success of local businesses
• Engage the community in building green, thriving neighborhoods
• Improve air and water quality in the watershed
• Create a healthy, accessible, welcoming downtown for both pedestrians and bicyclists
• Inter-connect the Wheaton downtown and its neighborhoods physically, functionally and thematically
• Serve as a living laboratory for testing and modeling "Urban Greening" and "Low Impact Development" practices
