This is really interesting, thanks for your work! Co-ops are definitely one of the best ways to strengthen communities and stop extractives business models. Driving to Colgate, the only stores I see are Dollar Generals, which is so disheartening. I hope we can see more projects like this in the future!
Hi Jamie,
I appreciate this exploration into food security in our local area. Being that they are currently in Stage 2 of the process, did you have access to the market research/analysis? If so was there anything that stood out to you about the social implications of this store?
Has the store worked on connecting with the preexisting “farmers market” communities?
