Under her leadership, the company focuses on urban development and revitalization of the city center and on renewal and appropriate growth of her community. Cathy and her company have made a commitment to rebuild urban neighborhoods, redevelop historic buildings, construct new buildings that honor their surroundings, and provide planning services throughout the region.
A member of the Urban Land Institute, Cathy has served on the Inner City Council and as a faculty member for the Daniel Rose Fellowship, working with mayors across the country. Currently, she is on the national steering committee for LOCUS, an organization that works for real estate policy that supports walkable urbanism.

Cathy recently completed 2 years of study at Harvard University as a Loeb Fellow and Visiting Scholar at the Graduate School of Design. In addition to honing her expertise in sound design principles and green buildings, she used her time at Harvard to study innovative models for mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhoods. Since returning to Birmingham, she has applied that knowledge to her interest in the revitalization of urban neighborhoods, developing locally-based food systems and the overall health of the community.
