Smart Car Wash Owners Invited to Obama’s Speech

The Americans seem very happy with the way they managed to deal with the recession. On Wednesday, President Obama held a one-year anniversary of the Economic Recovery Act speech. At this speech, the administration also invited the ownership of The Smart Car Wash, which is expected to be the world's first full-service car wash with US Green Building Council's LEED Certification.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction.

"Congress provided Recovery Act funding for Small Business Administration loan programs with the hope that entrepreneurs would have the opportunity to open their own small businesses and create jobs for their local economies," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) said in December.

"The Smart Car Wash LEED certified facility, financed by the SBA's 504 lending program, does exactly that by creating new jobs, increasing the local tax base, and stimulating the Prince William County economy. I commend the Smart Car Wash team for their entrepreneurial spirit and environmental stewardship."

The Smart Car Wash is highly appreciated as it will provide new jobs, higher quality auto cleaning at an affordable price, and will rise the bar for environmental stewardship in the car wash industry.

"We were honored to be invited to the White House as just one of the many stories of the Recovery Act," said part-owner/investor Taryn Rosenkranz. "Our business is truly representative of what the Recovery Act is trying to accomplish, we are not only bringing new jobs to the area, but even better green new jobs. Now if only some of this snow would melt we could get construction back on track!"
