Join us for our Sustainability September event, a presentation by Randy Groff about Four Season' sustainability efforts.  He will talk about the journey that started in 2006 up to the most recent 1.7MW solar array that was just energized in March 2024. He will also explain how we turned the facility department from just an expense department into an income department.  Following lunch and the presentation, we will tour the facility.
