Government Funding Specialist
7 days ago
Prica Global Enterprises (PGE) strives to make all persons and residents feel like they are always coming home. We understand that home is a sense of completeness, of being present and in-the-moment. Home is a sense of flow, and we connect this from one place to another. Prica Global designs and creates spaces and homes where people and places may flow together and in which they always feel at home. Building a home is not building permanence; it's building a feeling of community for anyone that passes through.
