Pavone, who became the proprietor of the city’s Ford new car dealership, renaming it Lakeview Ford Lincoln seven years ago, actually moved to the area at that time. But his influence since has certainly been recognized, if only judging by the number of congratulatory messages surrounding the announcement in the latest issue of Scene Magazine.
Quickly, Vince became part of a network of leaders in Battle Creek who are consistently working with efforts to move the area forward.
He became involved with charity efforts to benefit organizations like Community Inclusive Recreation and the Harper Creek Optimists Club. He also serves on the BCVision steering committee.
In recognition of his efforts, Scene Magazine recognized Vince as its “Person of the Year” for 2016
