Green Tape

Green Tape
Croton on Hudson took a step forward to revitalize the Harmon District, an area hit particularly hard by the recession. The village board approved a resolution to rezone the Harmon district, a first step toward enabling entrepreneurs to build profitable retail space with rental units. The Mayor (Leo Wiegman) also announced a new “green tape” initiative.
Green Tape?
Its the antithesis of Red Tape. Green Tape is his word for process re-engineering, removing extra layers of red tape, streamlining local government. The title is catchy. It calls to mind other green initiatives, conserving natural resources, preserving our environment.
We all spend a lot of our waking hours at work, in our towns, working with people. Green Tape. We need more of it, conserving one of life’s most precious resources — time.
