Cohousing-L Mailing List: Strategies for choosing a town

[timnabby (timnabby]

Hello all,
Garden State Cohousing is a newly formed group in 
central New Jersey.  We are actively looking for
new neighbors, and looking forward to finding a town
to live in.

I recently attended a meeting held by the planning 
board for Somerset County NJ on Smart Growth.  The
executive director of the board suggested that we
send to every township (specifically, the 
planning board and the mayor) in our desired area a 
brochure describing cohousing, and the specific 
benefits that Garden State Cohousing would have on
their community.  Based upon the replies received,
we would 'target' the towns that gave us favorable
replies.

My question to the list serve, and the cohousing
community at large is:  Has anyone tried this approach
toward picking a town to locate in?  Did it work?

I appreciate all replies!
Thanks
Tim
