Located in historic downtown Black River Falls, BRF Arcade offers a fun and safe place to play video games, host a party or event, or simply hang out with friends. Tyson Clarke, a native Australian who has lived in Black River Falls with his family for decades and proudly calls it home, runs BRF Arcade along with several other properties downtown. As both a business owner and committed member of the community, Tyson sees energy efficiency as a key part of his responsibility and was eager to work with Focus on Energy. “Making these upgrades means I can take care of my business and give back to a place that’s given a lot to me and my family. Energy efficiency is one way we can help build a stronger, more sustainable downtown.”
Tyson had already made some smart energy-efficient choices, including installing an efficient hot water heater and furnaces. That foundation allowed Focus on Energy to concentrate on lighting and remaining heating and cooling improvements.
