As a representative of BluSky Restoration at The Magnificent Mile Association, I’ve experienced firsthand the incredible value of this network. The Association has been instrumental in connecting us to the vibrant Mile district of Chicago, enabling us to effectively support the community in times of property damage or restoration needs. Through these connections, we’ve been able to make a tangible impact in Chicago, ensuring the city's iconic landmarks and businesses can continue to thrive.

The Association’s commitment to fostering relationships and promoting collaboration has not only strengthened BluSky’s presence in the region but also helped me recruit my new business partner and friend, Rob Hartill, to our team. Together, we look forward to continuing our work, supporting The Magnificent Mile, and contributing to the resilience of this remarkable district
