NORWICH – The Impact Project, based in Greene, is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving Chenango County and surrounding areas by providing home renovation assistance, financing, and construction. They have just completed their 200th project, saving one home at a time.

Norwich resident Tanya Chrisbacher found out about The Impact Project from a neighbor, who had her roof done and a couple of friends that also recently had work completed.

She applied for the new roof and was accepted, becoming The Impact projects 199th project.

She said she had seen the work at her neighbors and pictures of other projects and was impressed.

"My trailer is about a 97 or 98 model and I've owned it now for eight years," said Chrisbacher. "I got a brand new roof put on because the one that was there was probably the original, with a lot of leaks."

She said The Impact Project moved quickly and finished up on Tuesday.

"They are wonderful and we're really excited about our new roof," said Chrisbacher. "My son, daughter, and three dogs live here too, and we're all excited."

The 200th project was across the road form Chrisbacher, at the home of her uncle, Richard Carl Fink. He and his wife Carol heard about The Impact Project by placing a call to Opportunities for Chenango. He said he explained his need for a new deck and stairs and they referred him to The Impact Project.
