Downtown Tempe Authority
1947.13 miles away
Tempe Green Business Certification
About
We’re your dedicated team of dreamers and doers, buzz builders and business boomers and overall urban advocates who are leading the thrilling rise of Downtown Tempe. Since 1993, the award-winning Downtown Tempe Authority has been the private, non-profit organization that works in partnership with the City of Tempe to increase the value of Downtown Tempe through enhanced management, safety, marketing and promotional services on behalf of DTA members and other downtown stakeholders.
Why we're Green
Downtown Tempe Authority is located at Hayden House, the longest continuously occupied building in metro Phoenix. The leadership and staff of DTA were challenged to meet the criteria of the certification while maintaining the unique character of this historic building. They hatched a plan that included regular maintenance of their HVAC system, retrofitting light fixtures with LEDs, and installation of motion sensors to turn lights off in unoccupied rooms. These actions and more are reducing both energy costs and ambient heat in the building.
DTA is also responding to Colorado River and groundwater shortages in Arizona by connecting downtown Tempe businesses to Tempe Commercial Water Rebates. Businesses in Tempe can get up to $5,000 back in rebates for changing out inefficient toilets, sink aerators, pre-rinse spray valves, ice machines, and more for new models that use far less water.
