SG DEVCO & Resource Group US to Pioneer Climate-Change Friendly Land Development Initiative via Joint Venture

MIAMI, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Safe and Green Development Corporation ("SG Devco" (NASDAQ: SGD), a leading real estate and technology development company, today announced the formation of a joint venture with Resource Group US LLC ("RGUS"), a renowned expert in compost production and soil rejuvenation technologies. The Joint Venture (JV) aims to restore degraded lands across the United States, starting in Southwest Florida and evolving into a national production schedule as part of the growth efforts. This partnership brings together RGUS's Soil Rescue compost technology and SGD's land development expertise to rehabilitate nutrient-deficient land for agricultural, commercial, and residential uses.

The initial phase of the JV will focus on a pilot project at RGUS's Myakka City, FL site, a former phosphate mining area. The project will validate the effectiveness of RGUS's compost technology in revitalizing depleted soils, with long-term plans to expand the methodology across North America. The venture seeks to transform previously unfarmable land into productive, sustainable resources while also contributing to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration.

David Villarreal, CEO of Safe and Green Development Corporation, commented on the partnership: "This joint venture represents a significant step toward our commitment to sustainable development. By leveraging innovative composting technology, we are not only improving land viability but also creating economic and environmental opportunities for communities throughout the region. We believe this partnership will become a blueprint for future land restoration and sustainable agricultural practices."

The joint venture between SGD and RGUS is expected to create substantial revenue opportunities. By restoring degraded lands, the joint venture can capitalize on increased land value for sustainable development projects and generate income from high-yield agricultural production. Additionally, the venture opens new revenue streams through carbon sequestration credits and eco-friendly commercial development, further enhancing SGD's financial growth.

Tony Cialone, CEO of Resource Group US LLC stated that "This joint venture represents a powerful synergy between our compost technology and Safe and Green Development's expertise. Together, we're not just restoring land, but creating sustainable economic opportunities that will benefit communities and the environment alike."
