Toronto, ON (PRWEB) October 7, 2008
Restoration Environmental Contractors (REC), www. environmentalhazards. com], experts in demolition (http://www. recdemolition. com/), disaster recovery (http://www. recdisaster. com/), plant closures and industrial site remediation, is proud to announce the launch of a redevelopment strategy and anti-recession campaign, designed to help businesses who have decided to shut down their plants, sell off assets, to recover idle property, save on taxes, and re-train and employ the former local workforce while redeveloping old sites.
"The number of plants closing throughout Ontario and the U. S. is on the rise. Businesses see this as a necessary move in order to remain competitive through tough economic times," says Don Bremner, CEO and President of Restoration Environmental Contractors. "Many corporations are writing off old, inefficient or obsolete plants, old technology assets and capital project spending that has been determined to be of no further value. Corporate expectations are that these actions will reduce overhead and ultimately produce positive income. Nevertheless, companies will still need to pay industrial building taxes, even though the facility is shut down. Further, is the effect on families and the community. The shutdown of hundreds of manufacturing facilities has meant the complete loss of hundreds of thousands jobs. All of this goes into creating a tremendously negative impression about the corporation."
REC's program can help. Its new redevelopment strategy will allow for job creation and retraining, for this workforce to help with the environmental remediation, decommissioning and/or demolition of the site, thereby minimizing the negative consequences of necessary business decisions. The result is a win-win for both the local economy and the parent company, which ends up with a much more positive corporate image.
