In between helping your neighbors with their weatherization needs, the team at Partners for Community Development has a little more elbow room to operate moving forward. The organization showed off its new space during its open house on Thursday. After occupying a corner office space with a small kitchenette for the last few years, Partners for Community Development transformed the former gym to include a storage room for their materials, a garage bay for their trucks, and room to comfortably house their team of over a half dozen employees. Weatherization Program Manager Christopher Chase has set up shop in a lot of different locations under a few different names over the years. He is happy that the organization has dug its roots even deeper in Sturgeon Bay with the new space.

Partners for Community Development provide social services for homeowners struggling to keep up with ongoing home repairs and rising energy costs. Their weatherization services have helped homeowners in need of energy assistance save on average $500 on their heating and cooling bills. The demand for their services in Door and Kewaunee counties has been enough to keep two full-time crews busy over the last year.
