In a time when money is hard to find, unemployment is high, waste is growing faster than we have means to handle it. You Have to think outside the box to compete within the realities of what the other G20 countries can do. We did it in 1996 by creating what became a Resource Based Investment System. We used innovation and community team effort and our new 21st century investment system to take whatever a community did not see has having value and use it as investment or potential investment to support local job creation. We did not change the way things worked . Just how they worked. Take things of no value and turn them into something of value. Our investment. can only be recovered if we figure out how to turn something of no value into something of value using our 21st century approach to investment. We found from doing over 50 projects over the years each project is different and not every community is open to new ways of doing things and it is not limited to just textiles.

This project is made possible by the City and County of San Francisco, SPUR, the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services and the Department of Technology
