HouseRaising Retains CTA Public Relations for National Investor Relations Program LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- HouseRaising, Inc. has retained CTA Public Relations for a national investor relations and media relations program related to its planned merger with Technology Connections, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: TLGY) , which last week filed a Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning its planned merger with HouseRaising, Inc. A special shareholders' meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 21, 2004 to approve the merger, name change and the new board of directors, subject to SEC review. HouseRaising will be the surviving company following the merger, and Technology Connections' name will change to HouseRaising. "We look forward to working with CTA Public Relations to get our story out to the investment community," said Bob McLemore, CEO of HouseRaising. He noted that the merger will create an immediate increase in net assets to more than $7 million. HouseRaising creates revenues both from selling, designing and building homes for homebuyers through regional operations and from its Internet-based design/build management process available online to buyers and builders nationally. Initially, the company will focus operations on completing the Internet system and on regional companies in North and South Carolina. Later this year and into 2005, HouseRaising will expand sales through its programs provided on the Internet and through regional design centers outside the Carolinas as it aggressively broadens its market base. The company also plans a number of strategic acquisitions to accelerate its growth. HouseRaising was founded by Bob McLemore. During his more than 45 years in the home building industry, more than 2,000 custom homes were sold, designed and built representing a current market value of almost $600 million. Utilizing this vast home building knowledge and understanding of the industry, HouseRaising is creating an Internet-based home design/build management process and support program to manage and direct thousands of home design/build projects simultaneously. The company eventually expects to provide service and support for 10,000 design/build and 12,000 renovation projects annually. CTA Public Relations will work with analysts, money managers, stock brokerage firms and the media around the country to help create more interest in HouseRaising. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, HouseRaising is changing the old way of conducting residential home design/build projects into well-organized regional operations with Internet-based support and management processes.
