As construction continues and interest in booking the property increases,Salamander Resort and Spa, which opens in March 2011 in Virginia, announced the launch of a new group meetings initiative called "Meeting Green."
When it opens in March 2011, the resort will become one of the first luxury destination resort and spas in the United States to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. In addition to the building's physical characteristics, which include extensive waste, water and energy management programs, Resort Management Company Salamander Hospitality is creating a practical program in which group attendees can participate in environmental sustainability.
