The Committee discussed the requirements set forth by LL and finds that sim ownership is the only requirement we do not currently fulfill. The Committee further discussed pricing. Kefir Lamont posted current market rates for Education and NPO's : Full Region 65,536 sqm $700 $147.50
Homestead Region 65,536 sqm $262 $66.50
Openspace Region 65,536 sqm $250 $75

Jordyn Carnell stated that we should be careful to never lose sight of defining the group based on inclusivity and community support and not in terms of land ownerships and events. If we want the community support that’s how you get it, but supporting others with your resources, not by asking their support for building yours.

EagleWoman Lightfoots stated that we are still in a position of building support from all of our community. Ms. Lightfoots feels that by Festival time we will have a solid support from all parts of the community.
