GUCA MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY- ROCKDALE COUNTY

Members of GUCA have completed construction on the largest Habitat for Humanity project in the Southeast, Old Town Village. The project, currently under construction in Conyers, Georgia, will include 32 homes on 11 acres in the Old Town District.

“Habitat for Humanity- Rockdale County” has had a long history of helping those in need and this is a monumental event that will change lives forever,” says Bill Schroeder, Protective Liner Systems, Inc., Coordinator for the project. “The construction of the site where 32 homes will be built for families in need will help those families achieve the American Dream of owning their own home.”

The total cost of the completed project donated by GUCA members, covering over 11 acres, was over $500,000.00.
