We are hosting 2 Open Houses in order to reconnect with our community, highlight some of our accomplishments, outline the expanded vision and identify the different ways for you to participate. One on a weeknight and one on a weekend day.
We are excited to announce that after three years building out PLACE for Sustainable Living, we have secured a new five year lease under our newly formed cooperative, OakLeyVille. This lease enables us to continue building our collective vision of a dynamic educational center for urban sustainability and regenerative practices. We will be celebrating this good news at our upcoming three-year anniversary event: Creating Commons Festival, Saturday, May 10, 2014.
PLACE will continue to serve our educational and sustainability showcase goals, as Oakleyville will grow its membership into a multi-stakeholder cooperative serving its Workers, Makers and the Community at large. Please join us as we enter the next chapter of this co-creative place.
