Contributing to the beautification of Charles
Town, 37 trees were recently planted in the downtown area by
Huntfield, a local master-planned community and active participant
in the town's revitalization program. The $15,000 tree donation
included plantings of maples and hawthorns along Washington
and George Streets and dogwoods at the Jefferson County Court
House.
When the City undertook the revitalization contract
for downtown a number of change orders were received that created
a budget overrun. The City contacted Jim Duszynski, CEO of Greenvest,
and asked if Greenvest could help by taking on the street tree
plantings, freeing up the money to pay for the change orders.
"We wanted to give back to Charles Town,
which has been so gracious in welcoming us to the area,"
said Christina Sanders, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
for Greenvest L.C., developer of Huntfield. "We developed
Huntfield as an extension of downtown Charles Town, recognizing
its architectural and historic significance. Our commitment
is to continue to be involved in efforts to preserve and enhance
this community."
Assisting with the coordination and implementation
of the tree plantings were City Manager Jane Arnett, Chief of
Police William Aldridge and their staffs.
