Project Repat

28 year-old Jamaica Plainer Ross Lohr is fueling the Massachusetts economy one awesome tee-shirt quilt at a time. “Boston is the greatest City in the world, with a rich history and a talented core of young individuals.” - Ross Lohr, Founder of Project Repat  Take all your memorable tees and send them to Project Repat and, voila, you have a beautiful tee-shirt quilt blanket.  Even better, Project Repat quilts are made in Fall River and Lawrence by production partners who pay their workers a fair and living wage. Ross and business partner, Nathan Rothstein, demonstrate that you can create a financially successful business but do so in a way that is environmentally and socially responsible.  It’s about paying people well for the work they do, and making products out of recycled materials rather than creating something new.   Name: Ross Lohr Age: 28 Neighborhood: Jamaica Plain
