Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing-L digest, Vol 1 #705 - 7 msgs

[Diana Porter (porterd]

The cincinnati Ecovillage group is exploring buying 4 acres of property 
in the city adjacent to a 32 acre organic farm and 18 acres or woods 
purchased by the  Cincinnati Waldorf School.  We have invited the 
building committee from the school to our December 15th meeting to 
present their building plans and to begin a discussion of how a 
cohousing community might fit with their design and school curriculum. 
They have been awarded a grant to develop environemtnal curriculum and 
they hope to encorporate  the working farm into their curriculum.  A 
Walddorf family is starting to attend our meetings.

The down side of the property that is is still for sale is that it is in 
the shadows of a huge television tower and only accessible from a very 
busy street.   We hope that there is some way to share egress through 
the road the school will build and/or get involved in the trade of land 
they have worked out with the farmer so that he gets some of their woods 
and they get the back flat meadow to build.

We too would welcomes any other group's experience bringing together a 
school and a cohousing community.
