"In Miami, earning $45,000 a year as a cabinet maker means living below the poverty line, but in Thomasville, Georgia, it qualifies as middle income," shares Ian Quinton. Reflecting on his move from Miami due to rising costs and deteriorating quality of life, he adds, "I left the city's rising overhead and endless traffic, now enjoying a seven-minute commute." Quinton anticipates brighter futures for his workers' children, some of whom will be the first in their families to attend college. International Design & Display Group, LLC
