New Road, New YOU

A few months back we finished putting in this new road.

Before we put in the road it has been dirt since the community was created.

This road cost us $115,000, it is much bigger than what is in the picture.

The day the road was finished about a dozen kids came outside and began riding their scooters. At that moment I realized that these kids never had that opportunity, they never had a place to play other than the dirt.

I learned that it is worth investing in your communities because of the impact it can have on future generations. Too often we are thinking about today's one dollar instead of tomorrow's two dollars and the impact on those that live in our communities.

Even though you own the community, it is their home and those kids will be making memories just like you did in your neighborhood, you can impact that directly.

    Hello Logan,

    Your post resonates on many levels. Transforming a dirt road into a paved one isn't just an upgrade—it's about enhancing community life. The sight of kids immediately enjoying their new play area on scooters shows the profound impact of such decisions. Instead of just seeing immediate financial returns, it's heartening to note the lasting communal benefits these investments can bring.

    Your insight underscores a vital point for all in development: we aren't merely building properties; we're crafting spaces where memories are made. Prioritizing long-term, community-focused thinking ensures that we positively shape the lives of residents, especially future generations.

    Thanks for sharing this valuable perspective. It's a beautiful reminder of the broader impact our work can have in real estate and community development.

    All the best!
