The Model Level distinction is the highest recognition in the River Star Business program, reflecting Lawson and The Retreat at Harbor Pointe&#8217;s dedication to protecting and revitalizing the Elizabeth River, a vital natural resource in the region. The community&#8217;s ongoing efforts include participation in the Elizabeth River Project\u2019s oyster gardening program, which supports the restoration of local oyster populations and promotes water quality improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur core purpose at Lawson is to positively impact people.\u201d, said Carl Hardee, President and CEO at Lawson.&nbsp; \u201cThat can mean a lot of different things, including participation in programs like River Star Business. We\u2019re thrilled to be a part of it and to help improve the health of the river and our ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Elizabeth River Project\u2019s River Restoration Advisory Committee, comprising River Star peers and technical experts, unanimously approved The Retreat at Harbor Pointe for advancement to Model Level status.
