PHOENIX RENOVATION & RESTORATION, INC. ANNOUNCES NEW OPERATING DISTRICT STARTUP

We are excited to announce that in December 2009, Phoenix Renovation & Restoration executed the startup of a new operating district at the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri.

This new operating district is headed up by one of our Associates, Mark Broeker, who joined Phoenix in 2005. Mark has relocated to Sunrise Beach, Missouri, where he is the District Manager for Phoenix’s new Central Missouri District. ‘Phoenix – Central Missouri’ is servicing the Lake of the Ozarks region and surrounding communities as a premier insurance general contractor and remodeler.

Our research early in 2009 showed us that many of the insurance companies that we partner with did not have a strong restoration presence in the central Missouri lakes area. Although they each have a large policy-holder base there, there are only a small number of restoration companies that they can call on. We focused our attention on this need, and are proud to announce the startup of the ‘Central Missouri District’ of Phoenix Renovation & Restoration.

PHOENIX RENOVATION & RESTORATION, INC. PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR

During 2008, Phoenix Renovation & Restoration, Inc. partnered with the United Services Community Action Agency (USCAA), a non-profit organization, to perform community rehabilitation and restoration work under the HeRO (Home Repair Opportunity) program.

This program is funded by the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC). The program grants federal funds to qualified households for improvements to their single family dwellings. The HeRO program is focused on rural community development, and Phoenix is currently working on projects with funds set aside for the City of Excelsior Springs, MO. Phoenix is working with the City of Excelsior Springs, USCAA, MHDC, SHPO (State Historical Preservation Organization), and the homeowner, to complete the work in compliance with the various stipulations set by the respective agencies and municipalities.

During 2008 Phoenix worked on four projects under this program, and in 2009, again working in conjunction with these agencies, we began work on six new projects.

We look forward to continued growth in this sector of our business, and are grateful for the opportunities which have been provided to us. The relationships we have forged, coupled with the community improvements which are being delivered, make this a dynamic and rewarding endeavor for all parties involved.
