FAQs

  • What is an agrihood?

    An agrihood is a neighborhood built around a working farm. The neighborhood could be residential only or mixed use.

  • Why are you using participatory design?

    We believe that we’ll end up with a better final design for the community if we get public input via a series of participatory design events.

  • When will residents start to move into the agrihood?

    Building is expected to begin in 2026. Add 6-12 months for the time it takes to build a house.

  • How many units/residents will the agrihood have?

    This won’t be a satisfying answer but the amount of units or residents in the community will be determined during the participatory design process. Factors will include: saving as much land for farming as possible, housing density permitted, etc.

  • What about affordable housing?

    A big goal of this program is to provide affordable housing and workforce housing. A big focus of the participatory design process will be figuring out innovative ways to make housing available to households of diverse income levels.

  • What's the expected range of home prices in this development?

    We cannot provide reliable range estimates at this time. There are too many unknowns right now. What’s clear is that we’ll do our best to provide a decent amount of affordable housing and we anticipate a lower sticker price on these units if we can make good on our plans for a sweat equity program.

  • Will there be businesses in the agrihood? If so, what types?

    That would be nice! This seems likely but is contingent upon the participatory design series and some pending zoning questions.

  • Who is/will be the developer(s)?

    We don’t have a developer(s) selected. We expect to begin building relationships with developers during the participatory design series. If you know any good ones, feel free to get them in touch with us!

  • Will the homes be build-to-suit or spec/production homes?

    At this point, we anticipate most of the homes to be spec homes. But that’s provisional and will depend on what we learn during the participatory design series.

  • Will there be rental units available?

    As with most things related to this project, it’ll depend on what transpires during the participatory design process, but if I were a betting man, I’d bet on there being rental units.
