The Most Fitting Name
The thing about Greensburg’s citizens, the thing that is so remarkable about these people, is what they saw in the devastation. Yes—the tragedy is undeniable, tangible, and massive. But what you read when you visit the town’s official website is a vision of hope, not a lamentation.
Although this storm was devastating to our community, we are presented with an incredible opportunity to show the world our strength and to create a new future for those who will live here. We strongly believe that we will be back, better than ever, and will be a model for rural America.
Greensburg will be the first town in the US with all city building projects constructed to LEED Platinum level standards. This is not only an incredible undertaking, but should be a benchmark for municipal building throughout the country. George Bernard Shaw said that “we are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” Let’s get responsible.
