It’s been a very busy time at Root. We  moved our offices to Sonoma Mountain Village, an ambitious, sustainable project which is an environmentally-conscious redevelopment of a former Agilent Technologies campus by Codding Enterprises. The project aims to combine New Urbanism with deep sustainability. A 12-year, $1billion + effort, the Village, occupies 200 acres in Rohnert Park in Sonoma County, California, about 45 minutes north of San Francisco. Sonoma Mountain Village is a deeply sustainable,  mixed-use community endorsed by One Planet Communities, a joint initiative of sustainability experts BioRegional UK and WWF International.  Already, Codding has purchased $7.5 million worth of solar panels to produce sustainable electricity for the community’s commercial buildings.

Root Concepts’ offices are part of a business incubator called The Sonoma Mountain Business Cluster, whose goal is to support and nurture start-ups, and new businesses in the county. If you live in the area, please stop by, we would love to introduce you to the project.  And check out this New York Times article on the project for more perspective.
