Fundraising, fundraising, fundraising!

Our best guesses at what we still need to raise to finish the village at 201 S Stoughton Rd is about $100,000.  Increasing construction costs and the costs of materials is, at this point quite expectedly, throwing us off our budget!

So, we need you, more than ever, to help with whatever you can spare.  This community has been so generous to us during the construction of our first and 2nd villages, they are both paid off and mortgage free!  Village three is our biggest project yet, and we got assistance from the County with purchasing the land, financing and pre-development work, as well as $500,000 for construction.  Unfortunately, the budget for construction is likely about $750,000 – until it goes up again!
