Mark Jensen, Executive Chairman of Land Betterment Corporation commented, “We’re are really excited to bring a much more efficient housing option to the Appalachia region.  As a solution-based company, our ekō villages are bringing real sustainable, environmental and social solutions to a region in need.  The sites we have selected are former industrial sites once utilized by the coal industry.  They are safe, flat, spacious, and well located.  Additionally, our ekō homes use recycled steel shipping containers which will provide local residents with an affordable housing option that is strong, energy efficient and weather, insect and rodent resistant.  They offer modern amenities and will provide residents their own personal and safe living spaces.”

Land Betterment is proud to have its first ekō sites selected.  The Company is also currently working on additional site locations and looking forward to bringing its modern, ecological and sustainable housing option to other nearby communities.
