RBEV.org provides extensive support for those wanting village coops. This runs from predevelopment planning, to creating your village plan and business plan, to getting funding, and construction. We can even provide on-site construction assistance. Once your village is operating, we provide an operating high tech open source platform you can use, at cost, to run everything in your village.
