As the first Director of Sustainability for the city of Austin, she continued to lead the green revolution, cutting carbon emissions (despite being one of the country’s fastest growing cities) and promoting sustainable development, including the construction of the LEED Platinum certified Austin Central Library. Lucia has been on the board of directors for USGBC, GBCI, and EcoDistricts.
