Downtown Siloam and DRC

I just learned this weekend that DRC has a contract on the building my friend couldn’t get, as well as another downtown building owned by the same person. Both of these buildings have been vacant since I moved to Siloam Springs more than four years ago. DRC is also working on three other buildings in the downtown area, although these projects are not as new.

Ron Drake, owner of DRC Investment Group, has talked about his business functioning as a means to improve the overall quality of Siloam since I’ve known him. And it must be noted the DRC has never, to my knowledge, been all that profitable — though it has been sustainable and given Ron a halfway decent paycheck on a monthly basis if I recall correctly. DRC began building new homes along with its remodels about two years ago which seems to have been a profitable move, a move which may have allowed the company to continue with its community improvement ideas.
