BATAVIA – Britta and Steve McKenna continue to find ways to help Batavia. While they were honored Saturday as the Batavia Chamber of Commerce’s 2012 Batavia Citizens of the Year, Britta McKenna announced a campaign to raise funds for the renovation of the boardwalk at the Batavia Riverwalk.

“It is only through our collaborative hands that we can shape Batavia’s future,” Britta McKenna, former executive director of the Batavia MainStreet program, said in announcing the “Purchase a Plank” campaign and accepting the award.

The McKennas have been giving back to Batavia since moving to the city in 1991. One of the first activities Britta McKenna became involved in was the Batavia Riverwalk Committee, which oversaw the construction of the riverwalk.
