Energy Grid - the Future

November 07, 2017/ Margo Ketchum

At our October Discussion Group, we invited two experts in the field of grid management to share their concepts with us. We are inspired (to say the least) to elevate our vision to include managed energy and electric car integration and become a model for future sustainable communities.

Notes For Neighbors

February 25, 2017/ Margo Ketchum

We welcome our neighbors’ input and as we work to introduce a progressive and innovative project and enliven business in Kimberton Village.

Altair EcoVillage is based on a proven alternative model of living called Cohousing that began in this country over 25 years ago (and another 20 years earlier in Europe), where residents get to know one another before they move in, work closely together as neighbors cooperatively, and care for the buildings and the land over the long term. There is much less turnover in this model, a positive interaction with the local neighbors, and a stable mini-neighborhood, responsible to the environment. Recently Cohousing communities have increased their emphasis on environmental sustainability and have widened their mission to include education – thus the term “ecovillage.”
