President and CEO of Noble says that the City Manager, Jaime Sandoval approached Noble concerning this very project. Capistran says the first thing he asked was what the impact would have.
“Anything that we do at Noble, through our foundation has to create an impact.” he says, “Then he started telling me how the program worked,” Capistran shares that he thought it was a great thing for the community.
“I thought it was very intriguing, I said ‘wow we can really help the community in getting healthy by providing some other programs within the fitness court.”
Capistran shares that Noble is always looking for ways to incentivize health and wellness.
Rodriguez thanks Noble Texas builders for donating their time and resources, something that Capistran says is Noble was immediately willing to donate.
“(We’re) looking at about $25,000-30,000 of labor and materials to do everything,” Capistran states that they will be donating the concrete flooring aswell as a back wall.
