What you can expect from us
Industry experts
We take a thoughtful approach to managing new projects. We carefully select locations and craft a responsible business case to bring a project to market. We have the information you need to be informed about a project.
A local approach
We are proud to take an active role in working with landowners, agencies, and partners throughout the development process. A community approach is ingrained into our mission and we welcome opportunities to learn the history, vision, and realities of where you live.
Clear communication
Most projects take years to come together. We keep landowners and communities informed on project news and any actions that might relate to your property, business, or day-to-day activities.
A fair shake
We tailor landowner agreements to a specific area and market. The payment structure considers factors like construction costs, utility requirements, taxes, and project cost. We provide a value proposition that fairly compensates landowners and makes the project attractive for investment by utilities and corporate buyers.
"We put a lot of time and energy into local communities and being very transparent about what we're trying to do. We make sure they understand the facts and if that takes more time to do that, then that's what it will take."
