Development
From AshWiki
In 2006 ASH co-op started a process to look into development. Four categories come under this heading
- Improvements to the existing housing stock to reduce the environmental impact.
- Modifications to the existing housing stock.
- Buying extra property to increase the size of the co-op.
- Supporting the establishment of a new housing co-op in Cambridge.
The first and last ones have had the most interest.
