## Resource

Bud Sullivan’s demolition project in St. Louis is turning into a neighborhood revival—after tearing down a building, he’s now buying vacant lots and rebuilding homes using salvaged materials, hiring local youth like 19-year-old Melvin Thomas and his brother Lawrenzo, sparking community involvement and offering hands-on training for the next generation of builders, all set to launch next spring.
