On this episode of the podcast, we’re talking with Mindy Crook and Darin Smith of Arch Icon Development Corporation in Woodbine, Iowa (pop. 1,459). Arch Icon specializes in historic renovation and community development projects, and it all started with a Main Street restoration in their hometown. Darin and Mindy share how they, along with Mindy’s husband Dustin, built their business and started a revitalization movement in Woodbine. We also talk about why it’s important to save our historic buildings and how that’s possible, and what they’re doing to make Woodbine a place their kids will want to come back to someday — just like they did.You’ll love the ripple effect that has come from what the Arch Icon team started with those few Main Street buildings, and hearing how their business has evolved from there. Be sure to check out the show notes to see the amazing transformations of the projects they’ve worked on, including Woodbine’s Main Street!Check out more on the blog.SHOW NOTES:
