Project milestones. Design recognition.
Experience that informs our work.

The following highlights are selected examples from RW HAN’s broader project and consulting experience. They draw on publicly available information and project details approved for public reference. Additional engagements are not listed here; further experience and references may be discussed where client permissions and confidentiality obligations allow.

Among these examples, RW HAN served as prime commercial and project-development consultant to Lovejoy Capital on the unsolicited public-private partnership proposals submitted for Lake Tobesofkee in Macon-Bibb County and Pyne Road Park in Troup County, Georgia. This direct proposal experience informs RW HAN’s work with municipalities evaluating outdoor hospitality, recreation improvements, and P3 opportunities.

Robert Han also serves as Managing Partner of Lovejoy Capital. The companies are separate entities: Lovejoy Capital submitted the proposals, with RW HAN serving as its prime commercial and project-development consultant.

Lake Tobesofkee proposal advances to interim planning agreement

RW HAN’s role. RW HAN served as prime commercial and project-development consultant to Lovejoy Capital on the unsolicited P3 proposal submitted to Macon-Bibb County.

Macon-Bibb commissioners approved a planning agreement with Lovejoy Capital to study potential improvements at Lake Tobesofkee. The milestone follows Lovejoy Capital’s unsolicited P3 proposal for outdoor hospitality and recreation improvements.

The interim stage provides a framework to evaluate the concept and develop plans. It is a preliminary planning milestone; the cited reporting does not establish a final development or operating concession award.

Pyne Road Park proposal advances to federal review discussions

RW HAN’s role. RW HAN served as prime commercial and project-development consultant to Lovejoy Capital on the unsolicited P3 proposal submitted to Troup County for Pyne Road Park at West Point Lake. The work connects the park’s master-plan priorities with proposed outdoor hospitality and recreation improvements on land leased by the county from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Troup County approved an agreement allowing Lovejoy Capital to pursue U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval for its proposed Pyne Road Park improvements. The county’s published proposal identifies the project as an unsolicited P3 submission.

The agreement enables the next stage of evaluation with the federal landowner. The May 2025 reporting states that final development remained subject to further studies and county and Corps approvals; it does not establish an unconditional construction or operating award.

Downtown Lumpkin, Georgia · Local economic development

Three downtown buildings. A stronger connection to local tourism.

RW HAN’s role. RW HAN served as a consultant to Piedmont Hospitality Holding LLC in connection with its purchase of three buildings in downtown Lumpkin, Georgia. The work focused on the commercial opportunity to connect visitor needs with local businesses and a stronger downtown economy.

The investment seeks to build on the momentum at Clay Cosmos and respond to opportunities to better serve visitors to Providence Canyon State Park and Florence Marina State Park. The aim is to give travelers more reasons to spend time in Lumpkin and support businesses close to the destinations they come to explore.

By connecting outdoor tourism with downtown activity, the initiative seeks to encourage local spending, support vendors and small businesses, and create opportunities for employment and business growth. These are intended community benefits, rather than measured economic-impact results.

Source review: October 19, 2026. The Piedmont Hospitality Holding LLC three-building purchase and RW HAN’s consulting role are described by the firm. ICFF identifies British American Camping as the Outdoor award recipient; RW HAN’s consulting role for BA.camp is confirmed by the firm. RW HAN’s prime commercial and project-development consultant role is confirmed by the firm; the submitted proposals identify RW HAN LLC as a project correspondence contact. Dates identify the reported milestones. Planning approvals and interim agreements are distinct from final project authorization, financing commitments, construction completion, or operating results.

From the beginning to an operating destination

RW HAN has been involved with Clay Cosmos from the beginning. The operating outdoor hospitality property near Providence Canyon gives visitors a place to stay and a base for exploring Southwest Georgia. It provides a concrete setting for connecting tourism, guest experience, and the practical work of delivering a project.

Expanding Lodging Capability

RW HAN’s continuing work with Clay Cosmos connects lodging selection, administrative coordination of placement schedules, and coordination of specialist input on supporting infrastructure with the goal of welcoming more tourists to Providence Canyon State Park. Expanding lodging capability gives visitors more opportunities to stay nearby, explore, and connect with the surrounding community. More places to stay can encourage longer visits, giving guests time to explore Lumpkin, Stewart County, and surrounding Southwest Georgia communities. The goal is to connect tourism with local restaurant and retail spending, purchasing from local vendors, and opportunities for employment and business growth.

01

Establish the destination

Begin with an operating property that connects overnight stays to Providence Canyon and Southwest Georgia.

02

Add lodging and supporting infrastructure

Expand places to stay and the supporting infrastructure needed to welcome more Providence Canyon State Park visitors, with guest readiness and sustainable operations guiding delivery.

03

Measure the benefit and guide future investment

Evaluate guest nights, visitor activity, local purchasing, and nearby business spending to inform the next achievable step.

EC

Connect overnight stays with the local economy

Clay Cosmos creates a place for visitors to stay while exploring the area. Guest purchases at the property and nearby restaurants, shops, fuel stations, and other businesses can support local commerce. Taxable purchases can also contribute sales-tax revenue, with the local share determined by the applicable tax rules and allocation arrangements.

MI

Track direct activity and wider community benefit

Track lodging revenue, guest nights, site visits, local vendor spending, and employment using information supplied by the operator. Track tax information supplied by the operator and its accounting or tax professionals; tax calculations, filings, and compliance verification are outside RW HAN’s scope. Assess spending at nearby businesses separately using visitor surveys or other supporting data. Compare results over time as lodging capability expands and more visitors have the opportunity to stay in the area.

Expansion source: Clay Cosmos’s Instagram updates, reproduced on its About page. Expansion is described as an ongoing development effort, rather than a statement that new accommodations are open for booking. Community impact to track: guest nights and site visits; changes in foot traffic; guest spending at nearby businesses; local purchasing and employment. These are measures to evaluate, not claims of verified results. No quantified economic-impact, local sales-tax, or foot-traffic results are claimed here. Gross guest spending is not treated as net new local economic impact; wider-impact estimates require supporting data and stated assumptions. Clay Cosmos is the project example; RW HAN’s involvement and Phase 2 work are described separately from property ownership and operation.
Specialized experience · Public land & conservation-sensitive settings

Work with the land. Put the master plan into practice.

Some outdoor hospitality opportunities involve conservation-sensitive land, public recreation areas, or federal land leased to a county. RW HAN helps clients evaluate whether carefully located, low-impact lodging and visitor amenities could support the site’s recreation and stewardship objectives. Options may include smaller footprints, reversible installations, phased deployment, and approaches that limit ground disturbance and new utility corridors, where suitable.

Our experience includes serving as prime commercial and project-development consultant to Lovejoy Capital on the Pyne Road Park proposal at West Point Lake in Troup County, Georgia, and coordinating project information and submissions with county representatives, counsel, technical specialists, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff for a county-leased federal recreation site. This brings a specialized perspective to commercial planning and administrative coordination supporting implementation of an approved master plan, including practical product choices, commercial feasibility, stakeholder coordination, and phased delivery.

We help organize the questions, specialist input, and decision milestones needed to move from a master-plan concept toward a deliverable phase of work: what fits the land’s intended use, how public access is maintained, which improvements depend on infrastructure, and who will operate and maintain them. Low-impact construction is one consideration in that evaluation; compatibility with conservation objectives, lease conditions, environmental review, and required county and Corps approvals must also be established. Counsel interprets lease rights, permitted uses, and legal requirements. Technical studies, design, installation, and technical supervision remain with the appropriately authorized professionals and contractors. The county and Corps retain their respective approval authority; RW HAN does not provide legal representation or promise an approval.
