Updates on our project :
Since our first meeting in April we have been tabling, gaining support and recruiting volunteers from the Minneapolis community. Right now, we are focused on fundraising to purchase land, finding architects to design the microhomes, locating a suitable parcel of land and coordinating with the City to ensure the long term viability of our efforts.
