Earlier in this space, we were excited to share with our friends that Tim Koontz had earned the Certified Green Professional (CGP)designation from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).  In doing so, he was the first CGP in Adams county.

The trend continues with the Koontz team leading the way in its market in regard to green building...We have just received notice that our new home at 1427 Tuscany Drive has been given the designation of "Green Certified Home" from the NAHB Research Center.  This is the first Green Certified Home built by anyone in Adams county!
