OTHER COMMONLY SOUGHT INFORMATION

 

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

We have identified the property and are working through the process of everything needed to be ready to build. Initial contact with the county commissioners and county planning and zoning team has been very positive and the next step in our due diligence process is submitting plans and getting confirmation we still have their full support. Once that’s complete we’ll focus on acquiring the funds to purchase the property. If we can’t get full support from the county, we’ll seek a new property.

These are the details for the property we’ve chosen:

  • Tons of trees
  • Diversity of wildlife
  • 100’s of acres of space
  • Western United States
  • Lots of water on the property
  • Diverse and beautiful topography
  • Everyone that has visited has said it is AMAZING!
  • Temperatures range from 20-90 degrees Fahrenheit (-7  to 32C)

We’ve had over 400 volunteers contribute to bring the project to where it is now. Bios for the Core Team and significant contributors (who desired to be credited) can be found on our Team Page.

Total volunteer time contributed to the project since our official launch in 2010 is over 100,000 hours. We seek people who really enjoy creating, building, and problem solving because the list of action items we are working on is long. Here is how we are choosing to divide our time to complete it:

Design: 80% Building Our Team: 10% Marketing: 5% Networking for Donors: 5%

As we complete components we open source share them by adding everything we’ve accomplished to the website and also sharing it across our social media network base of 20 networks.

 

FUNDING ONE COMMUNITY AND EXPECTED MOVE-ON DATE

With everything above we still have a lot to complete before we can physically begin building. Funding for securing the property is also needed but a fairly low priority with all the work remaining to be done before we can start building. With all this in mind, our estimate for being ready to build and securing the property is 2022-2023. Sooner is possible, but that’s our current estimated timeline.

These three pages are tailored to funders and have additional information: Funding Overview, Funding Related to Location, Funding Options
