Restoration is economic boon to local economy

Restoration links the past with the future making the most of the resources at hand while anticipating gains in economics and lifestyle. It shows optimism in ourselves and our children. It is the same idea as planting a tree.

Restoration saves resources. It reduces the need for more material and energy from the earth and prevents material already processed from going back into the earth in landfills.

Destroying buildings takes a lot of energy. That is why we should design them well in the first place, maintain them well in the meantime, and restore them well for the future. When a building outlives its original purpose use it for another purpose. Creative ideas can add a new dimension to your community.

Restoration can be an economic boon to the local economy. It can ignite an entire community into action by following your lead. Prepare for 2003. Fix your roofs, upgrade your sidewalks and gutters, make your buildings handicapped accessible, remodel your stores and other businesses, bring a new look to your community and new ideas for economic revival. Add facilities to draw people. Help each other by working as a team. Change your attitude about making money and helping the local economy. Create a new vision for your community based on a plan for the future.

People need creative planning and technical assistance for their community to speed up the process. The community will make more money faster. The planning process pays for itself in lower contractor costs, better long-term materials, lower life-cycle costs, fewer changes in construction and added value through better design in the finished project.

Repeat business from satisfied visitors and customers who tell others of your great little community is most important. It reduces advertising costs and allows businesses to spend more time making money. The face of America is rapidly changing. Small town life is the future. Business can be anywhere. New satellites that are in place ready to transmit the Internet to every part of the world are a testament to this rapid change. Your life can change at the same time. Be in charge of the process.

Together we can:
Provide architecture for housing, schools, business, or recreation.
