“This Charter represents a new way of doing business and one that has benefits for the environment and the building industry. As a direct result of implementing this Charter, Dane County’s lakes and streams will see a reduction in soil erosion and stormwater runoff beyond that required by current state and local statutes. This reduction will have a direct environmental benefit and since Veridian Homes builds about 25 percent of all homes in Dane County, this benefit stands to be substantial.”
Secretary Scott Hassett, Department of Natural Resources

Secretary Scott Hassett (DNR) explains how the charter will benefit the environment and the building community.
