====================================================
Can we build sustainable communities that are affordable and ecological? Yes! Throughout the Pioneer Valley (and Franklin County) there are numerous models for how to create communities that balance affordability, ecology and community connections. No one model has all the answers – but they all offer tremendous insights and for some, may be the answer you were looking for today.
This tour & pre-tour discussion focuses on concrete examples of sustainable community living right here in Franklin County. Tour stops will include:
* Cooperatively owned homes
* Homes on community land trust land
* A small cohousing development
* A rural ecovillage
* A working farm utilizing the state APR program
* “In-town” green housing
* New construction & existing neighborhoods
* Intentional community
The goal of this tour is to connect people with organizations and individuals working towards sustainable community living, offer real-world examples of community models, and explain basic information about how they work. We hope you can come!
