3. Executive Summary
• HCI, Inc is excited to present plans for the development of a multi-
business/retail complex that includes a medical professional park.
•The MONROE CENTER - The Monroe Center Development contains approximately 37
acres. The project will be developed to include the David Joseph Hegquist Cancer
Center, a medical professional park, assisted living facility, hotel, restaurant, multiple
businesses, inter-related retail spaces, education and/or a recreational facility and
more.
•The purpose of this document is to present a brief concept summation about
the proposed Monroe Center Development project as well as to outline the
Estimated Development Costs (EDC).
•The development plan for the Monroe Center is very diverse. Consumers and
clients from all age groups and demographics from the Metro Atlanta and
Athens areas will be attracted to live, work, play, retire and shop at the Monroe
Center. Monroe, GA is east of Atlanta and is part of the Atlanta Metro area and
growing very quickly. The city sits between Atlanta and Athens which opens
up the enormous possibilities to target market within two different
demographics.

6. “Sustainable Rural Communities “ Principle
• The principles of “Sustainable Rural Communities”, address the Rural Communities struggle of not wanting to become like large
urban communities. Rural Communities desire to maintain their rural character of feeling like a small hometown but just like all
economies, rural economies now understand that it is essential to take responsibility and embrace a economic development plan
promoting creative new businesses that can sell to customers from outside the community, and diversify to reduce risk from too much
concentration in one particular product.
• The principles of “Sustainable Rural Communities", address some of the most critical issues confronting our rural
communities in the nation today. Smart sustainable development is necessary in improving the quality of life in
rural communities. It affects everything that we hold close and dear to our hearts - where we live, where we work
and play, the quality of education for our children, the quality of life for our mature an aging parents, the commute
times to work, economic sustainability in housing and the accessibility to job opportunities that are created by new
growth.
• These days developing Rural Sustainable Communities is the hot topic of just about anyone in the business of trying
to keep the economy humming without hurting the environment or making people miserable with more traffic jams
and smog. The challenge now is to figure out just what it is and how to deal with it.
• Rural Sustainable Communities embrace ideas that address these questions of how to best plan, implement, and
manage all of the key elements of a program agenda for a community development setting. The concept
incorporates and employs an innovative, market-sensitive land use with economic, community and human
development concepts as means to meet the identified and continuing revitalization needs of growing communities.
• The first wave of economic impact that the Senior Village of Monroe will produce during the construction phase of
the project is the building of new senior living and daycare facility in the city of Monroe. The construction of the
Senior Village of Monroe will create new jobs for local workers and business income for all related industries, and
new revenue for the local economy: businesses will sell the various materials needed to build and market the
commercial and residential units; legal and financial firms will provide services.
• This project is not about making this small part of Monroe a nice place for wealthier households to move to while
forcing local residents to relocate to other depressed parts of the city. In every aspect of the project we plan to recruit
local residents and seek financial support so they can play a role in the development of the Senior Village of Monroe,
and thereby making the Senior Village of Monroe an integral part of the local community. Providing security and
staffing, becoming commercial and residential tenants, shopping at the stores, employing graduates of the local
schools and training center -at every step we will strive to involve and employ local residents and businesses, and
attract new people willing to become a part of the Senior Village of Monroe. With considerable public, private, and
community involvement, cooperation, and financial support we plan on making the Senior Village of Monroe the
exact opposite of a gated off-limits community.

7. The “Smart Rural Communities “
Senior Citizen Independent and Assisted Living and Elder Day Care
Currently, I in every 8 individuals in the US is over the age of 65
The face of America is rapidly changing with 7million baby boomers that began to come of age in 2010. We
are becoming a nation of mature elders and the Federal Government has designed and implemented Federal
grant programs to help assist in raising the number of much needed assisted living facilities throughout the US
available for senior citizens that require assistance with some or all of their daily activities
The elderly population will more than double between 2000 and 2030
By 2030, 1 in every 4 individuals will be over age 65.
• In 2010, there were 40.3 million people 65 and older, 12 times the number in 1900.
• Many older workers remained employed during the recession;
16.2 percent of the 65-and-older population were employed in 2010, up from 14.5 percent in 2005.
Between 2000 and 2010, Internet usage for the 65-and-older population increased from 14.3 percent to 44.8 percent.
• The Senior living, Day care and Grocery store, the hospice, the family Enrichment Center which will be a place
where the family members can stay when visiting their parents and where we can develop the senior to youth
activities ( hotel with conference space / mini-world of champs), one stop shopping center for seniors so that
everything that they need will be on the campus senior rehab/wellness center with a serenity pond and garden so
that they can have activities that they can relate to.
• Access to safe and comfortable housing with convenient healthcare and wellness programs is a luxury in any
community. We envision the 96 unit independent and assisted living facility for seniors who desire a high-quality,
nurturing and clean community in which to live.
• Similar to the demands on working families in caring for children, elder care is a significant issue for many of the
households that will work and reside in the Senior Village of Monroe. Coupled with the assisted living center would
be an elder care program designed to provide an active, loving environment with social and intellectual activities for
senior family members. Those enrolled in the program would participate in the activities and outings of the facility's
residents, would be provided three full meals a day, and would have the same access to medical and wellness
programs.
• These programs benefit everyone in the community. They provide the seniors with access to good housing and
services; access they have earned after a lifetime of work. It allows their children to go to work without worrying
about their elderly parents, or dropping out of the workforce and depending on government assistance in order to
care for their parents at home. Finally, these programs keep the elderly in the neighborhood where they can act as
role models for our children and stay connected to their family and friends. This multi-generational approach will
provide a level of service and commitment to family stability that we expect to become a model for business and
government alike, as our senior population continues to grow.

8. The “SMART Growth” Principle
Health Clinic
• Everyone should have access to quality health care. Employees in the Senior Village of Monroe will
be assured health insurance as part of their benefits package. Furthermore, we will make it a priority
to attract a high-quality health management entity, to operate and maintain an outpatient clinic
dedicated to meeting the health needs of the company. Specialized practices focusing on areas
such as pediatric and geriatric care, dentistry, ophthalmology and other fields will be recruited for the
commercial space available within the community. Convenient access to quality health care and
wellness programs offered by the various health care professionals will significantly enhance the
residents and workers' quality of life and standard of living.
Security
• Any reasonable resident or business owner will be concerned about their personal and property
security when evaluating the merits of the Senior Village of Monroe. We plan to offer the Monroe
Police Department space for a satellite precinct office within the community itself, designed from the
start to provide the communications and services they will need to serve and protect the residents in
the Senior Village of Monroe. This will be a deterrent to criminals, and a positive reinforcement to
community policing by encouraging neighbors and officers to know one another and cooperate in
fighting neighborhood crime.
Commercial/Professional
• Space has been planned into the Senior Village of Monroe for commercial and professional offices.
These offices and operations can range in function from professional practices such as doctors,
lawyers and accountants, to restaurants and retail stores. The office and retail space will be a draw
to bring local residents into the building and make it a part of their community.
Grocery
• The Senior Village of Monroe plans to recruit a national or local supermarket chain to locate within
or near the building. The supermarket will act as an anchor for the shops and services within the
center.

13. Construction Technique
• Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are high-
performance building panels suitable for walls,
roofs and even floors in residential and
commercial buildings. The most common SIP use
expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation
sandwiched between two structural skins of steel
or oriented strand board (OSB). The result is a
building system that is very strong, predictable,
energy efficient, and cost effective. Of the two
systems, the superiority of the steel system is
indisputable.
• Steel SIP (structural insulated panels) are
engineered panels made from a dense core of
EPS (expanded polystyrene) sandwiched between
two exterior layers of factory painted galvalume
steel, resulting in a solid one-piece component that
provides structural framing, insulation, and exterior
sheathing. Approximately 4’ wide, the interlocking
panels are strong, light and easy to handle
HCI, Inc
13
14. Construction Technique Continued
• The technique of sandwiching a foam core between
metal skins has been used in refrigeration technology
for decades and many screen room additions and
carports have been built using the panels. What is
relatively new is their acceptance and approvals
nationwide by building departments as a material
suitable for home construction. SIP systems are now
recognized by all major code organizations and have
received the highest seismic rating available from
California.
• The panels are put through extensive and rigid testing
to insure they continue to meet and exceed building
code requirements for wind, live and dead loads,
racking, and impact. They have been “hurricane
tested”, and have proven to be stronger than block or
wood frame construction, sustaining only very minor
exterior siding damage in winds exceeding 140 mph,
with no structural failures.

15. Construction Is A Green Building Technique
• High Performance Green Building - The move is on to Green Building, and
rightly so. By using energy saving building components and recyclable products,
overall energy usage goes down. Using materials that save more energy than
the cost to produce them also produces a net gain for the environment. Steel
SIP qualify in all of these categories and easily satisfy the Energy Star rating
requirements.
• Energy efficiency - Structural insulated panels are one of the most
environmentally responsible building systems available. A SIP building envelope
provides high levels of insulation and is extremely airtight, meaning the amount
of energy used to heat and cool a home can be cut by up to 60 percent. The
energy that powers homes and commercial buildings is responsible for a large
portion of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. By reducing the
amount of energy used in buildings, architects, builders, and homeowners can
contribute to a cleaner environment for the future.
• Resource Use - The insulation used in SIP is a lightweight rigid foam polymer
composed of 98% air, and requires only a small amount of petroleum to
produce. The foam insulation used in panel cores is made using a non-CFC
blowing agent that does not threaten the earth’s ozone layer. The EPS foam
saves vast amounts of energy over and above its production cost. It is one of
the best insulation products available, and when used in a steel SIP panel, it
provides strength as well as an impermeable insulation.
• Recycled Material - All job site waste is recyclable! Expanded polystyrene is
100% recyclable, as well as all metal job site scrap. Steel is the most recycled
material on earth. Over 80% of the steel used today is recycled!
HCI, Inc 15
16. Green Building Continues
• Thermal Performance of the Steel SIP Building - Compared to a
building envelope constructed of conventional wood frame 2" x 6", the
use of structural insulated panels or SIP can result in a shell that has a
58% better thermal performance overall, according to recent tests
performed by the University of Tennessee and the U.S. Department of
Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
• The study tested and compared 18 wall systems - calculating standard
R-values - but also calculating how well heat flows through various wall
materials (structure and insulation) and how well the walls connect to
other walls, flooring, roof, doors and windows - called “whole-wall R-
values.” Traditionally a wall's R-value is calculated by determining the
insulation performance of only structural and insulation materials called
“clear-wall R-value”. The new study weighed the performance of the
entire building envelope or shell, comparing whole-wall R-value
performance for concrete, wood, metal, Larson truss walls and SIP.
• SIP had a whole-wall R-value equal to 88% of its clear-wall R-value,
which means the material creates one of the tightest building envelopes
in construction. The panels tested were OSB covered SIP. A steel skin
SIP would achieve even higher values due to the total impermeability of
the steel coverings.
