Combined Properties is proud of its commitment to the communities we serve. A cornerstone of our corporate responsibility is a commitment to the community. As we are a substantial real estate taxpayer in many communities, we strive to positively impact the economic development of neighborhoods where we own property. We work closely with the local officials to devise projects aimed to improve aesthetics, meet specific real estate needs, and enhance recreational, educational and natural resources, to attract economic development and residential opportunities. Here are some examples of the community involvement of indivuduals in the company:
