Special Project List
Sustainability
We have always known that sustainability was a basic building block for all things that are intended to last long and thrive. The farmers taught us that, so did our collective history. Business is no different. We have recently started to learn again in our culture what sustainability means in construction, product development, energy, and business. We are better off financially if we can start with sustainability as a core port of our planning and development. We take this very seriously at Albion.
Energy independence and mixed energy opportunities
We believe in freedom and opportunity but if we don't consider our energy needs we won't have either. That's why we started working with projects in the energy sector over a decade ago to help foster the development of more energy types and the use of mixed energy systems in one region.
Project financing & the money related needs
Most people have very little education in finance or money in general. We walk people through this no matter what their experience level is because it's that important for long term success.
Global projects and community building
Over the years we have traveled abroad to use the business development to help other communities and individuals who were looking for assistance that would enrich their lives and the communities around them. There is an amazing globe of people who are looking for connection with like minded people. Our network is vast and continues to grow and it's amazing.
Infrastructure and modernization
You can't build without the proper foundation or infrastructure, the ancient civilizations knew this and we are starting to realize what they understood. With all of our new tech if we don't focus on the infrastructure we won't and can't progress. Pretty simple to understand and that's why we spend time focusing on this for all of our projects.
Education and next steps
Education is paramount to achieving greatness. In the past, we have taught a number of volunteer classes from hands on arts, project development, financial literacy 101 and advanced estate preservation and many things in between. Teaching brings another layer of experience for both the student and the teacher. Questions, theories, ideas and more are explored and solutions are crafted. Everyone benefits and we hope to promote and provide more opportunities in the future for the communities we work in.
