The State of Florida now requires that state agencies and departments under the direction of the Governor many not contract for meeting and conference space with hotels or conference facilities that have not received the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Lodging Program designation, unless no other viable place exists. The program’s designations, called “Palms One, Two and Three”, are awarded for best practices in water, energy, and waste efficiency standards. Several hotels in Southwest Florida have received the Two Palm award and are working towards their third “Palm” level.
