Eliza Greenman

Eliza will work on the town's comprehensive plan, and lead efforts to support a sustainable community on the Cranberry Isles, with a focus on natural resources, energy conservation, and renewable energy.  She will collaborate with the Islesford School to develop curricula around conservation, and will continue the work of her predecessor, Amanda Ravenhill, on food co-ops and island farming, as well as energy audits.  Eliza will also collaborate with the Neighborhood House and explore ways of funding conservation and rehabilitation projects.
