Stars align for Groundbreaking Event
What great support we had at the ground breaking! The sun was shining, breeze was blowing, and even the birds were chirping, making for a great setting for the event.
The Green Team out did itself getting the word out about the ground breaking. Over 75 people came out on Thursday morning to see the start of Kentucky’s 1st LEED Certified Habitat for Humanity Home. Included in the crowd were WLKY, WHAS, Fox41, Metro TV, Louisville Magazine, Networld Alliance, ProudGreenHome.com and KIX.com Fox41 aired a great segment on the event.
If you didn’t get a chance to come out let me fill you in, attendees were greeted with Heine Brothers coffee and networking time at 9 AM. At 9:30 we were joined by Mayor Abramson, Councilman Tandy, Rob Locke (Habitat Executive Director) and a representative from each of the silver and gold sponsors (check them out at www.ypalcares.org ). After some construction technique instructions from the Mayor and congratulations from everyone, we officially broke ground on the site. Check out the pictures on YPAL’s facebook page and Flicker.
It is really exciting to see so many people interested in this project and sustainability in Louisville. I think we are on the verge of making a meaningful change and YPAL is helping to lead the way!
All and all we could not have asked for a better start to this construction project. I hope to see you out at the site soon, sign up at www.ypal.org
