Active Community Environment Team
My name is Casey Lancaster, and I recently started working with Partners for Healthier Communities in the town of Sanford in January! Part of my position revolves around working with an active ACE Team In the Area, and I’m very energized to work with you all! Lee Burnett informed me that the ACE Team here in Sanford has been concerned with improving bicycle and pedestrian mobility in the past, and I’d like to take time to get together and discuss the current issues, and how the ACE Team here in Sanford can address those issues!
I look forward to working with interested members of the ACE Team to discuss how we can make Sanford more active!
