BTI-Greensburg Shows Some Leed-ership: Dealership flattened by tornado re-emerges as a state-of-the-art 'green'operation and a model for other dealers

摘要

Consider this timeline: On May 4, 2007, a 2-mile wide, EF-5 tornado destroys the BTI-Greensburg John Deere dealership — and 95% of the city of Greensburg, Kan. The next day, nearly 100 customers help the dealership team clean up. Six weeks later, thedealership is supporting farmers during wheat harvest, operating out of lOO-by-80-foot shed. Two years later, BTI-Greensburg celebrates its grand opening as a "green" showplace for Deere — and for facilities of any industry.
