Beginning in January 1989 through January 1996, this was an agency that I ran, literally, from the ground up.  I was recruited out of Imperial Polk County’s Transportation Planning division, located in the big metropolis of Bartow, Fl., to lead this organization’s transition to become an independent agency.  When I got there we had three professionals, an administrative assistant, and a budget of $2.2 million.  When I left, the agency had grown to 10 professionals, two administrative assistants, and a budget of $350 million.

In FY 2021-22 the city embarked on an aggressive program to sale or donate parcels of land and buildings that were acquired through various means (abandonment, back taxes, lawsuits, etc.).  Currently these parcels are not generating tax revenue that local government’s require in order to sustain itself.  This project will serve two purposes; transferring ownership of land/buildings to citizens and businesses, and incentivizing development in areas that maybe experiencing a need for revitalization.

The Red River Rock organization, of which I’m the managing partner, has made an offer to acquire seven parcels located within the Midtown Redevelopment area, and three parcels in other parts of the City. Our goal is to build low-moderate income housing in the area and to possibly make the Midtown community the next Black Wall Street™  in Florida.

The contract to provide laundry and towel services for the new recruits out in Colorado is one of TGI’s most prized projects.  Our customer reviews have been outstanding and five-stars.

The CBP Buffalo contract was just awarded in May 2022.  The uniforms we provide are unique and custom-fitted for our northern cadre of border protection law enforcement personnel.

This contract has been on-going since Spring 2020.  TGI and their sub-contractor has been dutifully providing both laundry and shop towel services for our great patriots in uniform throughout the greater Norfolk and Langley Va. areas.
