C-Vision: Early Adopters
November 20, 2006 11:01
NOTE: The following feature story was originally published in Open to the World, fall 2006 issue. It was written by M.E. Walker. The story is being used for the Nova Scotia "Come to life" initiative. "Come to life" is a public-private sector initiative that markets Nova Scotia as an excellent place in which to live, work, invest, play, and visit.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but sometimes that is because it is well taken care of. For Amherst-based C-Vision Ltd., that means sustaining an environmentally friendly business. The company's green attitude has been the secret behind its success, but it hasn't been easy to get to the top.
