"On behalf of the NACD, we greatly appreciate your willingness to share your weekend time to show us the Hidden Creek site and share your ongoing efforts to develop it in harmony with the Darby Creek watershed. Like many before us, we applaud your outstanding work and are excited by its potential to shift a paradigm. It's the personal awareness and commitment you have demonstrated that will help us all address resource concerns on an ongoing basis."

Patrick F. Noonan
Chairman, The Conservation Fund

"We at The Conservation Fund salute your bold efforts. We believe that your efforts to blend economic return with environmental principles will serve as a true model of early sustainable resource development work in America."

State Representative
Ohio House of Representatives,

"I would like to congratulate you on your housing development, Hidden Creek at the Darby! It is wonderful to know that a private developer cares for the environment and will preserve the natural resources for years. Your expertise in conservation will bring children and adults in West Jefferson a wonderful place to call 'home'. Therefore, it is my honor to commend you for a well thought out and designed development."

 

Robert Monsarrat Jr.
Manager, Environmental Planning Section

"What Robin has done is just a wonderful example of how the EPA and private industry can work together to create quality housing and enhance the natural setting at the same time."

"I am very proud of what she is doing. She's pioneering this thing. This will become a showcase for other developers on how to preserve the environment. It's a new way of doing business."
