“David Schneider’s knowledge and experience were
invaluable to us as developers in navigating the
governmental review process.
At the same time his work was thorough, striking a good
balance between our ‘bottom line’ concerns and the
sensitivities warranted by a
100+ year old historic mill building from another era.”
David Yeager, President of
Radnor Property Group LLC
