Tribute to a real man

This past week, a good man died in a freak accident. Norman Kaiser, a local businessman and community leader passed away after being struck by a car at his carwash.

Norman was a great businessman. He owned CVR Rentals, a local tool and party rental company. He had his hand in numerous other businesses and always rose above the current economic conditions. I found him to be evenhanded in his business dealings and a man of his word. Which is hard to come by today.

His success as a community leader made him that much more a hero of mine. He helped start the Waynesboro Boys and Girls Club, was instrumental in the local United Way and was always there when people needed him.

Norman died at the age of 70, but you would never have guessed his age by his energy.

He was a real star who will be saddly missed.

Approval for DeWitt Crossing Project

I appologize for taking so long to post. I have been pretty busy and am just now catching up.

Last night, the Waynesboro City Council approved my request for rezoning on the DeWitt Crossing Project.

I am now working on getting Adin Circle, from the Silver Ridge Development accepted into the state road system. This is unlike anything I have ever done before. There are way too many details. Of course, I won't go into how I got screwed over by a guy who was supposed to pay for this work. I will leave that until after all the dust settles.

Back to blog stuff:

I have found that using Microsoft Project is really helpful in these large projects. Just being able to map out the dependent tasks is worth the price tag. I have built a pretty hefty plan and timetable for the DeWitt Crossing development. Of course, you can take it too far, but having a plan and measuring it make life alot easier. For instance, when will you need financing? Or when will you be able to sell a lot? All these answers come from the time table.

I promise to keep the updates coming more frequently.
