Concord Ecovillage is extremely pleased to announce that 7.5 acres has been secured for an ecovillage a half mile south of downtown West Grove, PA, at the northwest corner of Prospect Avenue (Rt. 841) and State Road. We are extremely enthusiastic about this property! It has a perfect southern to south-western exposure for harvesting solar energy and is directly across the street from the new 85 acre London Grove Community Park. It is a walkable half mile to the Library, post office, five restaurants, and other businesses in downtown West Grove, and also about a half mile to the public middle and high schools. This property is a much better fit for us, in nearly every respect, than the property we considered this fall on the corner of Willow Street and South Guernsey Road.
The name of the neighborhood that we will build on this property will be Three Groves Ecovillage, in honor of the location in London Grove Township, bordering West Grove Borough, and within Avon-Grove School District. Concord Ecovillage will continue, as a sister organization, to seek to build an ecovillage near Kennett Square PA. Please read our full update, progress and event listings at www.ThreeGrovesEcovillage.org.
We have a number of upcoming events, and hope that you will join us for some of them:Sat. May 16. Visit us at London Grove Green Fair at the community park across the street from our property. Tours of the property will depart from our booth every hour on the hour. 10 am to 2 pm.
