After three years and a global pandemic, West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund (WPPSEF) is proud to present the rebirth of 63 North Fraley Street as Six&Kane. A place to gather, to think, and to learn.

Joel Morrison, Fund Administrator for West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund, said “WPPSEF is proud to bring this project to Kane to show how high-performance buildings can be used to lift the economy. The fund made decisions very early on that were vital to the region to use as much local labor and materials as possible. One of our most precious achievements is that we have become part of the community. Kane has embraced us as one of their own. This two-day celebration is a rare opportunity to hear the stories firsthand from all the people that made it happen.”

In 2019, WPPSEF made a strategic decision to use energy to help revitalize rural communities.

Kane was chosen for the spark seen in its leadership and in its people. WPPSEF purchased a 120+ year old building, committed to a Passive House energy efficient transformation, and assembled a team.

To enhance the celebration, Six&Kane will be partnering with the Kane Volunteer Fire Company to have their chicken BBQ on site in the Northwest Bank parking lot located at 56 North Fraley Street and use this event as a fundraiser for the volunteer fire department. The BBQ dinners will be available beginning at 11 a.m. until sold out on Saturday, October 8.
