Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Milwaukee Urban EcoVillage

[River Snow (seanain]

Sounds like a great project. The folks at N Street Cohousing in Davis, 
CA, did just this kind of thing, adding one house at a time and taking 
down fences as they went. You can find their contact info on the IC 
directory at www.ic.org, if no one from there is on this list and 
responds to your e-mail.

Best wishes,

River, who can't get the italics to go away and will stop trying now.
