Mercedes-Benz of Burlington, which opened its doors in February, recently dedicated part of its roof to Ann Cummings, who long served as a member of the town's planning board. The section named adter Cummings is "green,'' containing vegetative cover that absorbs storm water and reduces energy costs. The new dealership, located at 80-82 Cambridge St. and owned by Bernie Moreno, made the nod to Cummings in recognition of her longstanding efforts to bring eco-friendly building practices to town. "The green roof marks the completion of the 137 conditions mandated by the town of Burlington in order for the dealership to be approved," Nick DiMauro, lead counsel at the dealership, said in a prepared statement. "We couldn't be happier with the dealership, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with the town of Burlington."
