Fort Bend Habitat for Humanity has received a $350,000.00 contribution from Fairfield Maxwell, based in New York, and its family of companies: FairfieldNodal, Fairfield Bulk Carriers, and Fairfield Chemical Carriers. FairfieldNodal, a full service geophysical company operating worldwide, and headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, is the local representative of the Fairfield group. This contribution will enable Fort Bend Habitat for Humanity to develop a 3.5 acre tract of land recently purchased in Rosenberg. Plans for this tract include a main corridor, accessing eighteen future home sites. These homes will then be sold, at cost, to qualified families selected on the basis of need. FairfieldNodal’s owners and employees are excited about this project, and humbled to be able to assist the local community with this contribution.
