Collier Construction moves to Main Street
Collier Construction is the latest business to migrate south. “Starting about four years ago, we found ourselves really connecting well with the Main Street community,” Ethan Collier, president and CEO of Collier Construction, said. “We wanted to get closer to the people we are fond of. We’ve done a lot of work on Signal and that area has been good for us, but as far as working in the community, we wanted to be with people of like mind.”

Builder uses durability, efficiency to go green
Collier's goal when he started his business a decade ago was to "build better," he said.

A big, green mansion with small utility bills
