I realize the comments I am about to make are business related to a different project, but the non-profit needs to be very careful in dealing with him when it concerns money (even reimbursement for supplies). We hired Red Bear (Harold Lock) to complete the construction of our new home (February 2008). During the course of construction, we discovered that he co-mingled our funds into his general account and paid other bills with our money, submitted false invoices to our bank to get inflated draws on our loan, converted funds for his own use which we specifically designated for certain materials, and, after having dragged the project out for an additional six months, he left us at the end of the project (June 2009) with unpaid subcontractors and unfinished work. We have brought a lawsuit against him. I am very concerned to see that Red Bear Construction (Harold Lock) is involved with City Sprouts Lincolnville project.
