Solano County marked the beginning of the second year of its Green Business pilot program with another certified green business.

Vineyard RV Park at 4985 Midway Road gets the nod as the third official green business in the county and the first business in the unincorporated area to get the green business certification.

Solano County launched a pilot green business program in July 2007 to encourage small-to medium-sized businesses that handle or generate hazardous waste to voluntarily undergo a rigorous certification process. The program has expanded to work with other businesses wanting the green business certification.

"Vineyard RV has the extra distinction of being the first green business certified as part of the expanded program," said Narcisa Untal, Solano County green business coordinator.
