Meeting with NDU's Micro Venture Consulting team members, Ming and Lex: Would you be available to meet some time this week to discuss a Taylor's Field project? I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're envisioning, but my vision of the project looks something like this: 1) Todd Zeiger from Indiana Landmarks could provide funding for a rehab project with the FLIP program 2) Funding from Indiana Landmarks goes to Habitat, who will keep construction costs low because of their human resources and material discounts 3) Habitat volunteers will be well managed through the Monroe Park Neighborhood Association 4) Ivy Tech will provide Taylor's Field project as fieldwork component of their environmental design program - Ivy Tech students can provide a supervisory role for the Habitat volunteers 5) HPC has supervisory role over Ivy Tech students for historic preservation aspects of rehab; Elicia, will you be teaching the historic preservation course for the environmental design class at Ivy Tech? 6) Jim Kelly from ND can provide pro-bono legal work for the project That's the process I'm thinking of, but I'm not sure about the scale. Do you envision working on one house first? Or multiple houses? Is this similar to what you are thinking? Also, which type of house would you be targeting? Of course historic - ones in danger of demolition yet repairable? We were thinking we could take a look around the Taylor's Field area to compose a list of potential houses.
