Description: Lance Robbins, Urban Smart Growth's (USG) CEO and founder passed away. He was 76. His goal for the company was to achieve a unique sense of community and expand the range of transportation, employment, and housing choices while preserving and enhancing natural and cultural resources.
Lance Robbins founded Urban Smart Growth to be dedicated to a mission of revitalizing and repurposing structures of all kinds in order to breathe new life into neighborhoods across the United States. He has spent over a decade working towards this goal and is constantly striving to achieve more.
Always looking for ways to enhance the past in order to connect it with the future, Lance has worked diligently over the years to re-empower communities across America.
Re-energizing historical properties, Lance has been able to not only breathe new life into old worlds, but also re-introduce the historical significance that these properties once enjoyed. Whether a mill that had manufactured many of the parachutes used by the United States Army to liberate Europe in World War II or an all-suite property owned by comedy duo Laurel & Hardy in 1913 to entertain Hollywood's stars, Lance is determined that these properties are not forgotten or left to waste.
