Introducing Longview Structures - A Lancaster Green Remodeler

Today I had the opportunity to sit down over coffee with Jesse Pelman of Longview Structures LLC.  We talked about how Jesse and his business partner Mike Stoner grew up in the building trade around Lancaster County, and their decision to form Longview Structures in 2008.  Both Jesse and Mike share a commitment to sustainable building designs.  Jesse himself spent some time in the Netherlands and didn't drive during the whole time.  As a result, Longview is eyeing Lancaster City as the target for a green building project.

While they're already actively working for local clients doing everything from front porches to detached garages and basements, they see urban infill as their next calling.  They have been working on securing a suitable Lancaster City property to redevelop such as a blighted home or garage/lot combo, so if you know of anything let me know...Jesse is clearly a passionate, committed pro who is excited about Longview's future. 

Longview Structures LLC is a member of the US Green Building Council and our very own Susquehanna Sustainable Business Network.
