Land for the Commons is a program that secures and develops land and property providing creative, collective spaces for scaling social enterprises and ownership opportunities for working class families.
We do this to ensure wealth and resources created in our community are deeply rooted in it for the long term.
Currently, we are working on two projects in Downtown Morganton, NC: the development of our Innovation Campus and a Housing Cooperative.
This is a full-time, on-site salaried position that will work with the Director of Land for the Commons to carry out the work of two ongoing projects.
The first is the Innovation Campus, a 27.
87 acre brownfield site that seeks to transform a neglected, former furniture factory site into a location that spurs business development and job creation.
Our vision for the first phase of the development will include approximately 10 acres of land remediation, and a manufacturing space that will include skilled training and business incubation space.
This project is already underway, with a total project budget of approximately $30 million.
This significant capital investment includes funding from local, state and federal grants, as well as private philanthropic sources.
Our contracted design team, led by Mithun, is currently working through the Schematic Design phase of this project, with a goal to break ground next year.
Our second project is the development of a 10-acre parcel, earmarked for housing.
Central to the mission of The Industrial Commons is to create opportunities for workers to build long term wealth for themselves.
Housing is an important pathway to build stability and wealth in communities.
We plan to utilize a unique ownership structure, combining a Limited Equity Cooperative and Land Trust model to ensure long term affordability and modest wealth generation for our community members.
