Mitigation Banking
April 6, 2009
Mitigation banking promotes the restoration, creation, enhancement and/or preservation of wetlands, as well as the restoration and/or preservation of streams through economic incentives.
Within the past year, mitigation banks have become the preferred method of compensation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, one of the main permitting agencies, and thus compensatory mitigation banking credits have become more
vital to development project in Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as other states.
By establishing a mitigation bank, landowners can not only protect their land from future development under a perpetual conservation easement, but also provide significant financial benefits through the sale of
compensatory wetland or stream credits. Landowner's still retain rights to passively use their property as open space for hunting, hiking, bird watching, and other activities, while protecting their land and the environment
for the future generations.

Hanover County Winterization Program
December 6, 2008
For the 16th consecutive year, Resource International has participated in the Hanover County Winterization Program.
We dontated materials and labor to effort. The Hanover County Department of Community Resources has been soliciting labor and
donations in order to prepare homes for the winter and make basic repairs. Many of these homes are owned by low-income, elderly
or disabled residents of Hanover County. These residents either don't have the funds to initiate basic repairs or are unable to
prepare their homes for the winter.
Resource would like the thank all of the employees who participated in the 2008 effort and appreciates this opportunity to give back to the community.
