Forming Formed: 2002
Concord Ecovillage
southern Chester County, northern DE, northeastern MD, Pennsylvania, PA/MD/DE,
United States
 Concord Ecovillage envisions 30 to 40 very environmentally friendly homes, clustered around a central walk way, with a lively, well-used common house. We hope to have a community organic garden, much open space, and many other amenities. We are actively seeking families with children and value diversity. One of our distinguishing features is our goal of being within walking distance of a thriving small town. We are a cohousing community and an ecovillage.
We place an emphasis on excellent facilitation of meetings, building social ties before we build homes, and honest group dynamics.
One of our plans is to use no fossil fuels for heating, cooling, or lighting our homes. Recently we have attracted the interest of one of the top builders of environmentally sustainable buildings in the country. We hope to be able to announce a site and a formal relationship soon.
