The Clarksville-Montgomery County Green Certification Program (CMCGCP) welcomed community organizations to its first recertification class of 2026 on May 28, reaffirming a shared commitment to environmental stewardship, operational efficiency, and community sustainability.
The Green Certification Program is made possible through the leadership and support of Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden and Bi-County Solid Waste Management, whose commitment to enhancing quality of life helps local organizations reduce waste, conserve resources, and strengthen environmental practices.
Current organizations participating in the recertification process include:
- Amare Montessori
- Altra Credit Union
- Clarksville Department of Electricity
- Clarksville Athletic Club
- Clarksville Area YMCA
- Clarksville-Montgomery County School System
- Customs House Museum
- Habitat for Humanity
- Immaculate Conception School

- Nashville State Community College
- Premier Medical Group
- Waterdogs Scuba & Safety, LLC
Each participating organization previously earned CMCGCP Certification and is now working toward recertification by submitting a renewed commitment statement, sharing facility data, and documenting sustainable practices implemented within their organizations.
"The Green Certification Program is about recognizing organizations that are making a meaningful difference while helping them discover new opportunities to save resources and reduce costs," said Michelle Newell, CMCGCP Manager. "I am excited to work alongside these organizations, learn from their successes, connect them with one another, and celebrate the positive impact they are making throughout our community."
The recertification class featured presentations from Mary Anderson, Bi-County Assistant Director of Administration and Education; Eric Sims, CMCSS Energy Services Manager; Levon Gibson, CDE Energy Solutions Specialist, and Matthew Galibert, Regional Planning Commission Planner, who shared expertise and resources designed to help organizations strengthen their sustainability efforts and continue building on previous achievements.
The next Green Certification Recertification Class will be held on August 26, 2026. Organizations interested in becoming newly certified or renewing an existing certification are encouraged to participate. For more information, contact Michelle Newell at manewell@montgomerytn.gov or 931-245-1867.
