Omega’s plan as a private company with a community mission is to utilize an enterprise approach to deploying the best possible sustainable solutions to the problem facing evacuees and communities impacted by recent natural disaster. Omega’s solutions are for the long-term, not quick fixes and can provide a viable asset-base for family self-sufficiency and community building – essential for preserving human dignity and fostering prosperity in the region.

The Company

Omega Paving and Construction Management Group LLC has positioned its company as a sustainable solutions provider and is particularly versed in applications that are cost-effective and contribute to community building/rebuilding in low-wealth areas. The areas chosen by Omega include: the Southern Black Belt of the United States, the Caribbean and Africa.

Of particular concern to Omega and its partners is the impact Hurricane Katrina, and future storms may have on a region already impacted by a significant low-wealth populations and underdevelopment. The cycle of destruction, temporary fixes and rebuilds without using sustainable approaches, will degrade the social and economic viability of the region and affect national progress and security.

Omega believes that a good portion of the massive investment of recovery funds to be spent, must be allocated in a manner that provides sustainable solutions and offers asset-based responses that generate permanent, long-term self-sufficiency among the evacuees dislocated by the Katrina Disaster.

The Plan

Omega Paving and Construction Management Group LLC has a plan that (1) provides sustainable building technology that mitigates loss of life and property from future events, (2) promotes personal asset-building affordable homeownership replacement and development for residents who have lost homes due to natural disaster; (3) spur the development of affordable rental multi-family housing, reconstruction of churches, businesses, schools and public and commercial facilities to re-establish governments and renew places of employment; and (4) train workers and promote small business development enterprise-based employment for evacuees and returnees to sites of devastation in New Orleans and the Gulf Region.

The Approach

Omega has already assembled a consortium of Hub Zone 8-A Certified companies that have the engineering, construction and community development capacity to launch the comprehensive program described above. We are presently seeking sufficient investment to develop the first stage capacity of being able to produce the specialized building technology that drives the entire plan.
