Since its inaugural event in 2007, GreenTown has received an extensive amount of media coverage on a variety of media platforms throughout the Midwest.

GreenTown Elgin is the eighth installment of GreenTown. Held on April 28 at The Centre in downtown Elgin, a keynote address was provided by Dr. Richard Jackson, the former head of the National Center for Environmental Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
