Randy Wise Homes and United Bank to Build 2018 Community Spirit Home
BAKER, FL – In an effort to give back to the community and to honor a special young person and our military families, Randy Wise Homes, Inc. and United Bank broke ground Tuesday, March 6th on a residence in Mill Creek Farms. The proceeds from the sale of this residence, located in Baker, Florida, will be donated to The Taylor Haugen Foundation and the Special Forces Association, Chapter VII.
“We are calling the residence our 2018 Community Spirit Home,” said Randy Wise, president of Randy Wise Homes, Inc. “We are thrilled with the partnership we have formed with United Bank who has donated the lot on which the home will be built. We have been involved with three Building Homes for Heroes construction projects for wounded soldiers, but this is the first time a bank has ever donated a lot. Randy Wise Homes will still provide the same building services we normally do, but we are donating our building fee. We will reach out to local vendors in hopes of free or discounted services and products for the home, and we will reach out to the community for cash donations to go towards its construction. The proceeds from the sale of the home will benefit both charities.”
“Why are we doing this? We selected these two organizations because The Taylor Haugen Foundation and Special Forces Association, Chapter VII are helping people who have gone through dark days. They are bringing hope and help to children and Special Forces families – punching holes in the darkness to let light come through. Sometimes that is all that is needed – just a little light. We also want to give others in the community a chance to play a part in spreading the light and want to inspire others to do good,” remarked Wise.
The home will be the Live Oak II floorplan and feature 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2,618 square feet. The groundbreaking heralds the rise of another Southern-style brick bungalow home in the rich, wooded area of Mill Creek Farms where small-scale gardening, large 2/3 plus acre homesites, and a rural setting are enticing new home buyers. The Mill Creek Farms development has earned industry recognition for high architectural standards and sets itself apart for conservation and energy reduction with its eco-friendly homes and landscaping. According to Randy Wise, “Mill Creek Farms has seen the highest increase in value over any other community in this part of the county in the past 7 years.”
