Development is More Difficult than Most Think
Development is a complex and often strenuous process. Most people outside the profession don’t understand the time and capital it takes to make a project come to fruition.
Before a single piece of equipment touches the ground, there are years of government meetings, environmental and site assessments, engineering studies, etc.
Each step requires significant time, effort, and capital investment.
But when done right, it creates a ton of value and transforms communities, which is why I love it.
