Build a community of mixed-income housing on land

otherwise not afford housing to continue to live in Hebron
or chose to live in this beautiful, high opportunity Town.
Beautiful, wooded property near town center, grocery
store, pharmacy, library, schools, medical offices, child care
center, youth service bureau, food pantry, trails and parks.
