Businesses are the lifeblood of any community and at ATS, we’re proud to serve these businesses, especially after a natural disaster. After hurricane Ian, many of these businesses are working towards a full restoration.
Read on to learn about our Artificial Turf Supply work on restoring the JW Marriott Marco Island resort.
Hurricane Ian’s Destruction
Hurricane Ian was the fifth deadliest hurricane of the last 60 years in the US. It took out Cuba’s rich tobacco growing region before taking a turn north and causing devastation from southwest Florida up through the Carolinas.
The World Meteorological Organization will almost certainly retire Ian’s name, a sign of just how destructive it was.
Hurricane relief has helped many Florida families with small cash payouts, temporary housing, and other support. In the few months since the hurricane hit, community support is helping to get things back to normal.
Business Restoration
Businesses are beginning to rebuild in fits and starts. Community support for small businesses has rarely been higher, as local restaurants, shops, and home repair companies get back to work.
Hurricane relief and easier loans have also helped some of these businesses.
Southwest Florida’s major employers in the tourist industry face a different problem. They face discerning customers from out of town, for whom Ian was just a fleeting news story.
Large employers also want to turn rebuilding into an opportunity for investment. Not content with just building back, they want to make their amenities better.
JW Marriott Marco Island Project
ATS is proud to work with one of these large employers who are turning destruction into a chance to invest. JW Marriott Marco Island resort, which was affected by Ian, has chosen us to help restore their gorgeous resort.
ATS isn’t a company of sales people. Instead, we’re a company of turf experts with years of experience in the landscaping and golf course management industries. Working with Marriott to determine their turf needs and find solutions has been a highlight for our company.
Coastal resorts are at a crossroads. Extreme weather will keep happening, and these events will increase in frequency and destructiveness. That’s why it’s important to partner with an artificial turf supply company that can help you build and plant smarter.
Bringing Back Golf
Nowhere is rebuilding more important than on the links. The resort’s two golf courses, The Rookery and Hammock Bay Golf Club, are both huge money makers in their own right and attract many of their hotel guests.
Golfers expect perfection from high-level courses and expect their playing experience to match the advertised beauty shots. So, golf course owners have to provide a great course every day, with no exceptions.
ATS isn’t your normal artificial turf supply company. With our staff of turf experts, we take demanding customers as a challenge. And we want to score an eagle.
ATS’ Commitment
ATS is proud to be a small part of the post-Ian rebuilding. Amazing people are working every day towards the full restoration of affected areas.
