Regenerative Nexus (dba)

Ramboland was born out of the connection between Ron Rambo, a Lancaster resident with cerebral palsy, and Max Zahniser, a former Lancaster resident and green building leader. Ron was seeking to extend his mobility activism to environmental issues through his opportunity to finally get a living situation that actually fully supported his needs, and advanced his independence. 

Ron Rambo is likely responsible for more ramps and curb cuts in Lancaster than any other civilian, advocating for numerous restaurants, shops, and public walkways to be upgraded to ADA compliance. And he has decided to make the opportunity to have a best-in-class accessible home of his own a platform to take his lifelong struggles and advocacy to new heights. He has been vocal that he sees it as his legacy. 

Ramboland, however, is more than just a house. It's a universal design and community health innovation project that shows that our cities can better support all citizens, including those with special needs, better and less expensively than they do today. By healing ecosystems and fostering community interconnectivity and resilience, Ramboland takes a holistic approach to urban development - promoting equitable access and inclusion for all.

Ron Rambo was concerned about making sure that after his passing the house became available to other tenants with mobility challenges as well as other categories of marginalization and that the project scope includes aspects that will directly benefit his low-income neighbors. Examples are a neighborhood food, water, and energy system that has the potential to spread throughout Lancaster, a teaching kitchen on site, an EV that can be used for accessible and green transportation, and other educational opportunities in collaboration with local educational institutions.
