research-l Mailing List: Re: Couple questions

[Alice Alexander (alicecohous]

This is a great question that hasn't been researched. I would guess 5 years is average. But you have a huge range from 2 years to a dozen or more. Ask Marty Haskall with FairOaks - she's been working at this for something like 15 years! Then there's Port Townsend, from start to finish in 3 years.

One issue: when do you count "forming"? Is it when somebody had the initial idea? When you finally recruit a core group? when folks make a commitment? when you buy land? etc....

Anybody know the average time to community completion from initial group formation?

Best,
