The Citrus County Green Building Council was formed in October 2008 as a Council of the Citrus County Builders Association (CCBA). We have partnered with the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) to provide information about green building to the citizens of Citrus County. Membership in the Council is limited to members in good standing of the CCBA or the FGBC. We also have non-voting members from governmental and educational institutions, as well as student members.
