This issue of The Launch Report™ is dedicated to the memory of Larry Johnson, founder of Johnson Development Corporation, and one of the nation’s most successful developers who unexpectedly passed away in January 2022. Michael Cox, President of Johnson Development Services as well as Larry’s business partner and friend, discusses the impact that Larry had on the industry as well as his career.
