Mission

Cedar River Renaissance is inspired by the spirit of the Italian Renaissance—a time when art, architecture, philosophy, and history converged to transform society. Drawing from figures like Alberti, whose multidisciplinary pursuits shaped a cultural rebirth, we believe in the power of thoughtful design and strategic action to revitalize our own community.

Our mission is to breathe new life into the Cedar Valley by building on its historical foundations and existing infrastructure, crafting impactful, creative, and high-quality projects that reflect both tradition and innovation. We believe, as Alberti once said, “A man can do all things if he will.”
