Richmond Hill Community is Making the Difference


Nurses for the Nations plans for a Liberia, West African Life Center to Assist African Remote Villagers

When Nurses for the Nations shared about its plan to Build a Life Center in Liberia to support indigenous villagers with a new spacious treatment center for men, women and children so they could be treated for malaria and other physical, emotional, social and spiritual issues, Richmond Hill residents sprung into action. All of the work was donated free of charge by Michael Roberts Construction, G+L Designs and Jeff Lazenby of Pocket Media, all Richmond Hill business’s.

Michael Roberts, from Michael Roberts Construction in Richmond Hill, along with his wife Ashley, representing Pocket Media in Richmond Hill,  (Jeff Lazenby), took the N4N project to G+L Designs in Richmond Hill to architecturally design the 5,000 square foot facility, which includes treatment rooms, classrooms, teaching and library facility as well as pharmacy, lab, triage room and other assistive areas. Joanne Green and Gail Lemonds from G+L Designs also of Richmond Hill completed  the official architectural plans for N4N.

In 2004, Mike “jumped in with both feet” with his very own contracting company and believes ethics play a big part in the building industry. He shares that he would never build a home that he wouldn’t move his own family into. Today, Mike’s customers are his friends. If you are interested in building  your own home, you may email Michael Roberts Construction at michaelr23@coastalnow.net  or call 912.663.3141 in Richmond Hill.  Look up Roberts Construction company at http://www.Robertscc.com and see his work.

Joanne has had the experience of working on many homes at the Landings on Skidaway Island and South Carolina’s Belfair Plantation, Colleton River, and Oldfield Plantation among others. JoAnn is married and has two sons and four grandchildren. She loves bowling and traveling. Gail began her design career working with her father, Jack Pender. Together, they designed many upscale homes in the Savannah area, mainly the Landings on Skidaway. Following her dad’s death in 1996, she worked for a local residential designer, where she met JoAnn and they designed high-end homes, as well as speculative homes for builders.

Often a customer sees a home in a magazine, but it’s not exactly what they want or will not fit on a particular lot. They will take their ideas and design a custom home to meet every requirement from the ground up. Their knowledge and experience in design, aesthetics, symmetry, and products will help the homeowner make decisions for a well designed attractive comfortable home for every member of the family, including the pets.

They are professional members of the American Institute of Building Design, the Home Builders Association, The Chamber of Commerce of Richmond Hill, and the Women’s Business Alliance of Richmond Hill.

G&L Residential Designs likes to give back to the community that has been so good to them. In 2009 they provided the design for the St. Jude outdoor kitchen. This year they provided the home design for the 2010 St. Jude House in Richmond Hill, Georgia and also donated their services to the Home Builders Association Fund Raiser Home in Savannah, Georgia and Nurses for the Nations Life center in Liberia, West Africa.
