A new “green” dry cleaning business is about to celebrate its grand opening in Jamaica Plain.

J&P Cleaners, which has made strides to eliminate toxic materials in its dry cleaning efforts, will hold a ribbon-cutting celebration on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the business, 300B Centre St. in Jamaica Plain.
