With the sound of an excavator from across the street, a group met Thursday afternoon in the Jesup Depot to talk about the look for the storefronts that will be built to replace those lost in the Aug. 4 downtown fire.

Cleanup has begun, and Van Williamson plans to start construction on the replacement building as soon as the cleanup is completed. He said the lot should be cleaned of the fire debris by the end of the week.

The Williamson family members were on hand to hear from community leaders and Julien de Rocher, a community design specialist from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

Williamson said he plans to build a steel structure to replace the lost building that was built nearly 100 years ago. He said he is willing to listen to ideas of how the fronts of the stores should look so that the downtown appearance might be enhanced.

We want the downtown to be vibrant and pretty. We will do whatever design we come up with, Williamson said.

Members of the Jesup City Council and the Jesup Downtown Development Authority attended the session as did mayoral candidate David Earl Keith and County Board of Commissioners candidate and former Jesup mayor Herb Shaw.

Window Replacement Bay Area - Best Wood and Vinyl Windows And Doors Replacement Company In The B... - Video

In the late 1990s, Rick Wuest was a 30-something member of his family window-manufacturing company forgettably named Mid-Lantic Corp. when he decided the business his father built needed to change course.

Revenues were flat. Profits were reliably in the black. The Wuests did fine, living comfortably and poking along selling the vinyl windows they manufactured on Kent Island to building contractors.

It was a lifestyle business, said Wuest, referring to the window company his father, Fred, had started on West Street in Annapolis in 1980. But there was little reinvestment in the family firm.

Wuests ability to change that, building what became Thompson Creek Window Company, is all the more impressive given the difficulties many family-owned companies big and small face in navigating a path for succeeding generations.

Wuest, now 47, is a liberal arts graduate of Penn State who worked nearly every job in the company. He ached to take his family business to the next level.

I knew there was an opportunity we hadnt really yet fully realized, he said recently. I didnt know what that was.

He couldnt help but notice that the window business, long a sleepy niche in the home improvement and building ecosystem, was exploding with the entrance of vinyl replacement windows. Replacement windows are often the more affordable alternative to ripping out an entire window frame.

Some very well capitalized businesses came into the marketplace, said Wuest, referring to big names like Andersen and Pella, which were aggressively pursuing the vinyl window market. Competition was growing. The channels for windows in the marketplace were growing. Competition was coming and the prices were falling.

Wuest knew that if the company were to survive, it needed to grow. And to grow, Mid-Lantic would have to begin reinvesting profits back into the company and expand sales.

We werent very well capitalized, Wuest said.
