Grow Community was established in 2012 with the goal of creating a sustainable, intergenerational community intended to support the health and longevity of its residents.
It is designed to be a Net Zero neighborhood with the ability to use solar panels to provide 100% of the energy needed to power each home.

The Grow Community is the first One Planet neighborhood in the United States.
The One Planet framework guides the design of Net Zero Energy neighborhoods as places where people can reduce their overall carbon footprint while living healthier and reducing costs.
Accessible floor plans promote Grow Community’s goal of intergenerational living.
Sixty percent of the new neighborhoods will be dedicated to green space and community gardens, and most parking will be underground. -There are solar-powered homes, shared community gardens and clean transportation options.
The project uses locally sourced/renewable materials, low VOC materials, energy-efficient building envelopes, energy-efficient appliances and low-flow fixtures.
