The St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul is serving as the first stop for the new Metro CERT program Neighborhood Energy Service. This unique program starts with an energy efficiency workshop and is followed by an individual home visit including simple energy efficiency steps. Over the course of the fall, at least 100 households in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood will be expected to participate.
Backed by a supportive board and foundation, the St. Anthony Park Community Council has adopted sustainability as a core focus. Residents have been excited about the offerings – from backyard talks to an eco-film screening to the new home energy efficiency program.
“With so much momentum towards neighborhood sustainability right now, this is another great step toward reaching our goal,” said SAPCC executive director Amy Sparks. “People need to hear the message over and over. If you provide the info at the right time, they’ll make changes.”
