Wishing You Joy.


During this season of giving we would like to reach out to everyone that has contributed to the Grow project this year.  This has been a big year for us, bringing the concept to reality.  While it has been a busy year, full of challenges, we are now seeing the rewards for all of the dedication and hard work of our team, our champions, our volunteers and our new residents.   Nothing gives us more joy than to see the smiling faces of happy families moving into their new homes.

We hope that the New Year brings all of you health, happiness and new opportunities to connect with friends and neighbors and loved ones.

From all of us on the Grow Team, Happy Holidays.

 

 

Solar Savings

By the end of the year, 12 homes will be occupied in the first Grow neighborhood.  Eight of these homes already have solar panels installed, and the others are soon to follow.  Our gift to our children this year?  Carbon savings equal to more than the annual greenhouse gas emissions from almost 8 passenger vehicles or equal to the carbon sequestered by 30 acres of forest in one year.   A better world, a healthier planet.


 

What's Coming in the Next Neighborhood?

Grow Community will not be complete until all three neighborhoods are constructed.  While the first neighborhood is finishing up, the Grow Team has been busy redesigning the next two neighborhoods.  These next phases will complete the trail system, add a building for community gathering and even more gardens and open space.  A fun fact: out of the 5 acres that make up the next two neighborhoods, 3 acres will be green space.  More places to run, play, garden and connect!

We anticipate beginning construction on the second neighborhood this next summer.  Stay tuned for more opportunities to participate in the design of open spaces in early 2014.
