Upcoming Projects Of course , Dalton is always looking for ways to refine and improve its approach , always looking toward its upcoming projects , such as the renovation of the Bata shoe factory in Batawa , Ontario . The shoe factory , once a cornerstone of the community , has fallen into disrepair since its decommissioning . Now , it ’ s set to be repurposed as residential community space .
“ It ’ s part of rebuilding the whole Batawa community ,” Dalton said . “ We ’ re working with the Bata Development Corporation directly , to see their vision through to fruition . It ’ s very interesting being part of the rejuvenation of a community that was once thriving and the conversion of the shoe factory will hopefully re-instill the purpose and spirit that the town was founded on .”
Ultimately , The Dalton Company hopes to set an industry standard for others to follow and they know that ’ s easier said than done .
“ There are other very good companies ,” Dalton explained . “ We ’ re not the only one . We ’ re hopefully showing a different way of doing business that will be beneficial not only to our company but the industry as a whole . Our approach has bolstered our competitive advantage , greatly increasing our repeat and referral work .”
