Project Ivory Stone

Project Ivory Stone was a project developed and brought to fruition by Lincoln Jasper Hyde-Killings.

The ultimate goal of the project was to rebuild a failing town/city in America into what Lincoln believed would be an "Ideal & highly desirable place to live".

The chosen failing city was Marble Green, Pennsylvania. At the time of the projects initiation, the quality of the city had been declining for a number of years. This was in large part due to the cities largest employer, the Burkov Family, who at the time employed 50% of the cities employed population, moving all of their factories and stores to locations in other states and even over seas and borders following James Burkov's ascension as head of the family in 1967.

By the time Lincoln arrived, the one hundred thousand acre city had fallen into despair with unemployment, poverty and crime at all time highs. Lincoln began by purchasing portions of the cities.

He invested significant quantities of money into the city by upgrading both the cities physical appearance and its infrastructure. He upgraded and improved the schools, the hospital, various roads, public transport, both the police & fire departments, courthouse, city hall and a number of listed/heritage buildings, just to name a few.

He also purchased and opened a considerable number of businesses. This dramatically brought down the unemployment rate.

Despite initial opposition and criticisms, Project Ivory Stone was a success, with great prosperity and growth experienced by the city & it's inhabitants. Marble Green has been ranked amongst the United States most inhabitable and cleanest cities since its expansion and updates, and has even been referred to as one of the best & most desirable places to live in the U.S.
