obert White has had a strong hand in the redevelopment
of numerous properties as the executive director for
the Redevelopment Authority of Bucks County. Of particular
note is the Riverfront North Project located on the
Delaware River in Bristol. The site, a former ship-building

15 years. Through the efforts of the county, state and
federal governments, and private sector developers,
this site is being redeveloped for mixed-use residential
condominiums and commercial development. 
White is working on other projects to redevelop and
restore historic Bucks County.

hat is the single largest operating expense facing schools
these days? Books? Computers? No, it's energy - to heat
and cool.
Manheim Township School District's director of facilities,
David Anstrand, found an innovative way to cut costs.
Working in conjunction with the Geothermal Heat Pump
Consortium's architects and engineers, Anstrand made
a geo-exchange heat pump system an integral part of
Neff Elementary School renovations.
 A
typical heat pump heats and cools throughout the year
by warming or cooling the air temperature and circulating
it indoors. A geo-exchange heating and cooling system
uses the relatively stable 55° F temperature just
below ground surface to serve as the heat exchange for
the system. By working with a constant 55-degree temperature,
the pump does not have to work nearly as hard or use as
much energy as traditional systems do. Energy cost reductions
often range from 35 to 50 percent. Neff Elementary is
saving more than $35,000 annually compared to prior energy
expenses. Not only is geo-exchange an environmentally
sound, low maintenance and safe technology, but it also
saves money that can be put back in the classroom.
