Hurricane Helene brought historic devastation to our mountain home. We continue to feel the lasting impact on our friends, neighbors, and small businesses. We also have hope. The outpouring of support and love we have seen and felt is truly inspirational. As we work towards rebuilding our community in the months and years ahead, we are here to listen and help determine the best path towards a more resilient WNC. With our dedication to sustainability and climate resilient design, we aim to serve as a trusted advisor during this process. We may not have all the answers for the future of our region, but we know that over time, our beautiful home will thrive once again.
