On today’s show, we stop in at the first public meeting hosted by the Freshwinds Eco-village Housing Co-operative on Monday night in Sackville. Freshwinds board members shared plans about the planned 63-unit development on Fairfield Road, and told the roughly 50 people gathered that in addition to federal, provincial, and municipal funding, the co-op is considering issuing community bonds to help raise capital for the construction of the housing project.
