In 2008, a majority-owned subsidiary of US Microbics, Green Mountain Development Corp. began operations as a "green" incubator when Sub-Surface Waste Management of Delaware, Inc. changed its name, its business focus, and its stock ticker from SSWM to GMND on the Pink Sheets. Green Mountain Development Corp. assists early-stage environmental product and/or service providers, particularly in their quest to become a public trading public company, or alternatively to go from being a public company to becoming a privately owned corporation. In support of these business growth-oriented transformations, Green Mountain Development Corp. provides guidance, bridge financing, and support services.
