We are saddened to share that Harrisonburg Cohousing has made the decision to sell our land and then dissolve the LLC.
Juniper Hill Commons has been a cherished dream for some of us, a committed community for some, an all-consuming project for some.
With its welcoming, peace-making culture, thriving small-city amenities, vibrant universities, and beautiful natural resources, many of us still believe that Harrisonburg, VA is uniquely suited to support intentional, connected living.
We regret that we couldn't make it happen, but hold the hope that cohousing will come one day soon to the Shenandoah Valley.
We would like to express our gratitude to:
+ Jim Herr and Sam Carter at Herr & Co, for meeting our needs with their construction expertise
+ Randy Seitz at Blueline, for his hours of brainstorming and for providing a space for info sessions
+ Gil Coleman at Coleman Engineering, for being such a friendly, personable civil engineer

+ Ann Zabaldo at Mid Atlantic Cohousing, for including us in your merry band of communities and supporting our efforts
