Mining the Future
Reclaiming idle mining, milling and waste rock sites create land use opportunities for many
communities.  Providing flat “building-ready” and marketable sites is a win-win economic
development strategy.

    Kenneth Ho, Cherokee Denver

Computer and web-based tools can present urban renewal opportunities to the market, help
investors identify redevelopment opportunities, and help communities envision new buildings and
neighborhoods.

loans.
