The
Village Project conducts design workshops and Charrrettes that bring
people together to plan future projects. 
We
provide a suitable setting and information resources that enable
developers, community decision makers, and citizens to share their
desires and concerns in an effort to achieve the best long-term
planning and design for their towns and neighborhoods or for a particular
parcel of land.
