CASE STUDIES

Tree Farm Worker Housing

A tree farm on the Kona side of the Big Island needed worker housing for two of their married employees to stay because it was such a long commute to their property. The couple was unable to find anything to rent close by, so the caretaker home enabled them to spend more time at work. The farm owner also felt relieved knowing there would be people living on the property as he had already experienced two thefts.
