The majority of the funding will be used to purchase equipment and specialized attachments used for clearing and reclaiming land, restoring it to its original beauty, There will be a very small amount of the funds, (.03-.04%) that will be used to erect a building suitable to house the equipment and attachments and to work from on property currently owned.

Business Plan
I plan to work the business evenings and weekends for the next 3 to 4 years. By then I plan to have the business established to the point I can retire from my current job and work the business full time, allowing more jobs to be accepted and completed. I plan to advertise locally and in the surrounding area taking what ever work is available. There isn't any other businesses locally that advertise forestry mulching, or land reclamation as I am aware of. Therefor I feel this will be a very desirable and useful business to establish in in this area. I am 57 1/2 years old and plan to retire from my current job between 59 1/2 and 62 depending on the growth of the business. I have been a loyal employee of a local power company for 37 years. I have been through 3 buyouts and have worked my way from Laborer, scrubbing toilets, cleaning the building, and taking care of the grounds to Groundman, then Lineman as soon as it came available, to Lead Lineman, Line supervisor , to my current position of Line/Trouble Supervisor. My current position includes responsibility for for a 6 man crew covering shifts 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, covering a 5 county area I also am expected to cover for 2 Line Supervisors absences and vacations in Hinton and Fairlea areas. I was the first Trouble Supervisor supervising the first Trouble crew Mon Power implemented in West Virginia. I feel I have always had a strong work ethic and complete every task assigned within the required time or before. I am looking forward to a new adventure in a different field helping folks to realize the beauty of their property and the many different uses that it presents.

Self Identified Competition
I don't know of any competitors in this particular field in the Summers County area. There are other companies that preform dirt work utilizing some machines but none that offer the use of the very expensive cutting and mulching attachments I plan to implement which eliminates the need to pile and burn the refuse from the clearing process. Whitten Construction may be the biggest and only other business in the Summers County area that utilizes some of the same machinery but none of the specialized attachments I plan to employ. The difference as mentioned in earlier answers is the use of specialized mulching and cutting attachments that not only clear the land but leave behind a bed of mulch that will more quickly decompose, and eliminates the need to burn large piles of debris from the reclamation process.
