Cohousing-L Mailing List: More about the Chittenden County Cohousing of Vermont Group

[Sheila Braun (akaEmma]

Hi Laura,

We're looking for land right now in the Burlington, VT area. Sheldon Bogos
of Heartbeat Cities is coming up here to do a seminar for us on March 25th,
at the Best Western Hotel in South Burlington, which is free and open to the
public. (We're also providing childcare in a playroom and at the pool.)

Our hope is to create a rural neighborhood with some animals (horses,
sheep), an organic garden, and possibly a cross-country skiing business
(depending on the location). At the moment we are looking at land in South
Burlington's southeast quadrant, trying to convince the city and the people
in the area that Cohousing is the solution to South Burlington's problem:
its need to preserve open space and its need to provide enough affordable
housing in an incredibly tight market.

Anyone who is interested in our neighborhood may contact me via email or
call me at (802) 660-9466.

Best,
Sheila Braun
Chittenden County Cohousing of Vermont
