Consigli employees volunteer for Rebuilding Together Worcester to rehab WWII veterans home

In partnership with Rebuilding Together Worcester, a group of 40+ volunteers from Consigli Construction Co., Inc. (Consigli) spent a weekend rehabilitating the home of 91 year-old Irving Lerner, a World War II veteran flight engineer who was shot down over Poland and held as a POW in Germany for nine months. Extensive repairs and upgrades were required at the home in order to avoid the loss of insurance coverage. The volunteers completely rebuilt Lerner's chimney and back porch, installed new ceiling tiles and drywall, repaired plumbing, installed new lighting, renovated the full bath, built shelving, painted, made general home repairs and did yard clean-up over the course of three days. Consigli donated all materials and tools for the renovation. Rebuilding Together Worcester is a volunteer organization that forms partnerships with corporations, individuals and other organizations committed to improving our community by rehabilitating the houses of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly, disabled and families with children, so that they may continue to live in warmth, safety and independence. In addition, RTW rehabilitates non-profit facilities such as community centers and shelters.

While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
