Cohousing-L Mailing List: Rural Business Opportunity Grants

[Sue Pniewski (SPniewski]

Has anyone out there had any experience with obtaining grant money to get
the project off the ground.  We are looking to build in a mostly rural area
that is somewhat economically depressed.  The local goverment is very
interested, but the start up costs will be substantial since this is a rural
undeveloped area.  Any help with info on applying for grants or which can be
shoehorned into our needs would be great.  I did find a lot of great info at
www.grantcommunity.com but it's difficult to decipher if you aren't a
professional grant writer.
Thanks!

Hi all:

After nine years of tough going, South Florida cohousing is finally gearing 
up for a late fall groundbreaking! Our community's plans were featured in a 
great article Sunday in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. You can read it
online

Units are now available for sale. If anyone is interested in considering 
sunny South Florida, check out our detailed website at 
www.Emeraldplacecohousing.com.

We have been working with a professional developer, a situation that for the

most part has worked remarkably well. He bought the land from longtime group

members and is paying all the upfront money. This is a group that lost a
bundle 
in an earlier effort to self-develop, so having someone else pay the bills 
has been heavenly!
