COREY WILLIAMS RECEIVES TULSA PARTNERS
DON MCCARTHY MILLENNIUM AWARD
Tulsa Partners, a non-profit agency dedicated to disaster-preparedness in the Tulsa Metropolitan area, has awarded the 2008 DON MCCARTHY MILLENNIUM AWARD to Corey Williams, Executive Director of Sustainable Tulsa, publisher of Tulsa's Green Directory and Development Director for The Millennium Center at the Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum.
The Millennium Center, a 3000 square foot exhibit hall in the form of a house, replicates a strong, safe building that promotes disaster-resistant technology and environmentally friendly products. Planners, including Corey Williams, hope to inspire visitors to the site to " become awed by the power and beauty of nature, empowered to live safely in
harmony with our world, and motivated to exercise ever more wise stewardship of
natural resources."
Don McCarthy, for whom the award is named, is an engineer and, with the assistance of Neighbor for Neighbor, the builder of "The Millennium House" located in North Tulsa at North Wheeling and Virgin Streets.
