One City — Two Firsts
With only 1,000 entries in the GreenPRO database, it’s not uncommon for me to find the first such listing of a particular program, resolution or specific topic. It is, however, uncommon to find two firsts in one locale! Tonight, while visiting the City of Rochester, MN website, I learned about the city’s Early Defibrillation Program and Riverside Concerts.
The first entry on defibrillation is interesting because the world-famous Mayo Clinic is located in Rochester. I’m certain that its presence has a great deal to do with the impetus for this life-saving program.
The second entry marks the first one under the topic of “Culture” which deals specifically with music. Up to this point, every other entry for this category has focused on public art.
