Mission Verde Center (Green Mission) is a multi-purpose complex in San Antonio, Texas that integrates education, training, research and technology demonstration to address market demand for a green-skilled workforce and advance San Antonio’s sustainability objectives. The center is a result of recommendation nine for the Mission Verde Sustainability plan 〔http://www.sanantonio.gov/oep/SustainabilityPlan/Mission%20Verde.pdf〕 adopted by the San Antonio City Council in January 2010. The promise of the center is to reinforce economic development and sustainability efforts focused on increasing the implementation of renewable energy applications and conservation efforts. Located at Cooper Middle School,〔http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1700+Tampico+St.,+San+Antonio,+TX+78207&sll=29.424122,-98.493628&sspn=0.588503,0.856934&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1700+Tampico+St,+San+Antonio,+Bexar,+Texas+78207&ll=29.414274,-98.527107&spn=0.009196,0.021522&z=16〕 a decommissioned San Antonio Independent School District middle school campus, the center has created an opportunity to focus high-demand training, technology demonstration and environmental stewardship in a culturally vibrant yet economically depressed community. The center is an example for turning urban school closures into positive anchors for low-income neighborhood revitalization. The Mission Verde Center will help advance the goals of the city’s comprehensive sustainability plan, Mission Verde, by showcasing how investment in energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation can help create jobs and stimulate economic growth within the framework of a sustainable future. == Mission Verde Center Organizational Alliances == The Mission Verde Center brings together key San Antonio stakeholders in the area of sustainability.
