Be a Bioneer - Connect for Change

The Marion Institute’s 5th annual conference Bioneers By the Bay will be held in historic Downtown New Bedford, MA, on October 23-25, 2009. We will be in the exhibition hall featuring sustainable businesses and organizations. Looking forward to meeting lots of people and introducing them to the Smart Growth Mixed Use project.

If You Lived Here, You Would Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Plus bus service right out the front door! And a beautiful shoreline all around... If you're interested in the lofts at Wamsutta Place, you'll like this location more!

Contact carol@effortlessdesign.com if you would like to lease one of these efficient homes. Move in after the holidays!

Great System

A glassblock panel provides daylighting at the rear commercial vestibule. We used Pittsburg Corning ProVantage Glass Block Installation System, and it was the one of the easiest products I have ever used. Big Impact.
