Who are the People in Our Neighborhood

Rozanna Patane has lived in York for over 40 years. In that time she has been active in many community causes such as affordable housing, limiting fast food restaurants on Route One, and, for the last 5 years, the Energy Steering Committee (ESC). Under her leadership, the ESC installed solar panels on the roof of the Beach Fire Station; added an energy strategy to York’s Comprehensive Plan; introduced LED streetlights, which are now being installed; created a partnership with YCSA, Rotary, Habitat and Efficiency Maine to deliver weatherization services to York’s low-income families; and established a carbon footprint for York that will serve as a benchmark going forward in York’s goal to become a zero-carbon community by 2050.
 
You may already know of these accomplishments because they have been well reported in the York Weekly. But if you’d like to meet “Ro” the woman, please join us for on December 10.
