She's "fixed up a few old buildings" and minimized her carbon footprint before it was trendy - from installing a geothermal heating and cooling system in the renovated church that her label calls home to using organic inks on all the t-shirts she sells. Join Ani's partners in this venture, Scot Fisher, Edmund Cardoni and representatives from Flynn Battaglia and Architectural Resources, the two architectural firms involved in this amazing story, as they describe the vision and process it took to save and restore Asbury Hall to its current glorious state and the diverse uses that the community has made of this venue since it opened its doors.
