Disputed Self-Storage Project on Hold

Rob Ham has been trying to build his self-storage facility for the past six years. But he keeps butting heads with environmentalists who don’t want him there. This is one of those drawn out battles that’s just not good for the industry because environmentalists can shed negative light on us.

In these cases, it’s critical to have strong community and media relations to overcome any stigma environmentalists may in advertantly put on self-storage. We need to erase the perception that it’s about self-storage and make sure people know it’s about building in general, when that’s the case. A little community relations goes a long way in situations like this.
