This is an example of the highly popular field of Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprising where a for-profit company has a non-profit attached to it. The for-profit will work on developing intentional communities/co-housing in the western North Carolina mountains. The non-profit arm will be involved with manufacturing the parts to our geodesic domes and also helping to build the domes. We have employed what I call the "micro-manufacturing" model for this project.
Yes, we are in Atlanta preparing to build the first dome home in Dekalb County, one of the counties in Atlanta area. This will be a rental that will be 24 feet in diameter. There over 300 counties in the USA that have approved dome structures.
We are also looking at building what will be Peace Domes as part of the http://www.tenmillionclicksforpeace.org project kicking off. These would be build in schools and universities around the world.
