Big fan of the work you’re doing in VT. I’m relocating to the Berkshires starting this week to scout workforce development opportunities. It would be great to connect!

Wondering about your cost of funds. Were you using any lower interest development loan products like VHFA's construction loan guarantee or the Upper Valley Loan Fund (employer funded) through Evernorth?

This is assuming a market rate construction loan… haven’t been able to find any subsidized debt for a project like this. Currently pursuing Evernorth!

Hi Jonah... we think you are on the right track! We would love to talk with you to see how collaboration, modular and panelized construction technologies might help facilitate the construction of more affordable housing (expedite the process, supplement labor shortages, reduce or containing costs) throughout our region. Let's talk!

Second floor plan seems a bit off to me somehow - no closets - that space marked as ‘hall’ at the end of the stairs - lots of lost hallway area, only one informal living space on the main. Tiny bathroom.

More sf = more money! Goal here is to keep it affordable.

This design has been built before in the area and is very livable.
