NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - February 18, 2011) - GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: [ GRHU ]) (PINKSHEETS: [ GRHU ]) (the "Company") has executed a letter of intent with Hinds Community College to construct and manage a $2.9 million Anti-Terrorism Tactical Training Center in Jackson, Mississippi that would provide local law enforcement personnel with a state-of-the-art training and sustainable firing range facility and which would serve as a best practices model for such facilities in small cities and towns across the United States. The project is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.

The pilot program, including both basic and advanced firearms training would commence with Hinds Community College in Jackson, Mississippi, where Mississippi law enforcement agencies, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel and other local, state and federal agencies expected to receive instruction. The cost of building the Anti-Terrorist Tactical Training Center is estimated at $2.9 million per unit.

These Anti-Terrorist Tactical Training Centers are fully sustainable, indoor facilities. As such, they remove the need for outdoor firing ranges that have detrimental environmental impact due to lead seepage into the ground. GreenHouse plans to design and construct the 11,000 square foot training center on land leased from the college at a cost of $1.00 per year for a 15 year term. The training center will feature a GreenHouse delivered Tactical Training System featuring the company's sustainable bullet trapping system capable of containing 7.62 caliber rounds at a maximum distance of 30 meters. The range will also have twelve lanes of fire featuring pneumatic turning target systems including two lanes with wheelchair accessibility.

Users of the sustainable training facility are expected to include the United States Marine Corps, National Park Service, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Mississippi Alcohol Law Enforcement, Mississippi Department of Corrections and other fire and rescue departments. The facility will also be used to train U.S. Coast Guard personnel responsible for Maritime Security.

"As public safety enforcement work becomes increasingly dangerous, proper firearms training is more critical than ever to the safety of those men and women who serve and protect American citizens," remarked John Galt, Executive Chairman and co-founder for GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. "We provide the most sustainable and innovative environment for highly skilled training in an assortment of tools and disciplines in a wide variety of settings."
