From Marine to Modern-Day Revolutionary: Wayne M. Aston's Valley Forge-Inspired Vision

    FILLMORE, UT January 04, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In the heart of Utah, a revolution is taking shape, led by a man whose life is as storied as it is inspiring. Wayne Aston, a Marine Corps Veteran turned visionary entrepreneur, is charting a new course for sustainable development with his latest venture - the Valley Forge Impact Park (VFIP) in Fillmore, Utah. This project, a nod to George Washington's historic winter encampment, Valley Forge, symbolizes Aston's commitment to resilience, innovation, and a greener future.

Wayne Aston's journey from the discipline and rigor of the Marines to the dynamic world of entrepreneurship has been marked by both triumphs and tribulations. After a successful decade in the tile & construction business and another seventeen years developing real estate, including a Luxury Condo Resort in Moab, Utah, Aston now focuses on a challenge that combines his business acumen with his passion for environmental stewardship. The VFIP, in the geographic center of Utah and the original state capital, is set to become the state's newest and most innovative inland port project area, reflecting Aston's vision for sustainable industrial growth.

Central to this transformative project is the commitment to green manufacturing and renewable energy production, upcycling solid waste into energy and other carbon-negative products, and hosting industrial innovators with similar commitments to initiatives, including reducing landfill mass and carbon emissions and creating green products and energy. It's a vision that aims to improve and sustain the environment and proactively improve and enhance the world we live in by embracing the principles of carbon-negative manufacturing and sustainability.

As a marine, Aston learned the value of resilience and tenacity, qualities he has carried into his entrepreneurial ventures. His experiences have taught him the importance of improvising, adapting, and overcoming, a mindset that is evident in his approach to the VFIP. "We're not just building an industrial park; we're building a new standard for the future of industry," says Aston. "Our mission is to create environments where innovation can thrive, where we can turn today's challenges into tomorrow's solutions."

The VFIP is more than just a business venture for Aston; it manifests his life's lessons and ambitions and is a testament to his belief in sustainable practices' power and commitment to creating job opportunities, especially for veterans. Aston's dedication to this cause goes beyond the realm of business. He is also the Co-Founder of the Divine Providence Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to addressing a variety of social and mental health-related issues, including the development of modalities and programs to correct depression, PTSD, clinical anxiety, alcohol & substance abuse, domestic violence and eradicating Veteran and Teen suicide. Aston believes in giving back to the community, especially to those who have served the nation.

The project will feature companies who are committed to revolutionizing the green manufacturing sector, such as American Spec Industries. "ASI" is an example of one park tenant committed to building their manufacturing plant in Fillmore. It focuses on producing critical national infrastructure products such as railroad cross ties, utility poles, and marine pilings and foundations. These products, upcycled from solid waste, are designed to last longer than traditional materials, and are a testament to Aston's resolve to create sustainable and durable solutions.

Aston's Valley Forge-inspired vision is not just about creating eco-friendly products; it's about setting new standards in the industry. Unlike traditional wood railroad crossties that require replacement every 5-8 years, ASI's cross ties are guaranteed for up to 50 years, promising economic savings and a significant reduction in environmental impact.

Investors and partners have already shown immense interest in the project and have made Multi-Million Dollar investments, recognizing Aston's vision's potential and establishing formidable momentum to develop the project. The VFIP is expected to create a ripple effect of economic and environmental benefits, generating employment opportunities, and fostering sustainable regional practices.

In the spirit of the historic Valley Forge, Wayne Aston's VFIP stands as a symbol of resilience, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to a sustainable future and promises to redefine Utah's manufacturing landscape by setting a new benchmark for industrial innovation globally.
