#introduction Part 8: traction
In 2020 we converted our #socialenterprise #construction company into an #employeeowned #coop, & #SeedCommons & its local affiliate #Baltimore Roundtable for #EconomicDemocracy (#BRED) invested $1.5MM & we started building our #IREP. Covid slowed us a bit, but this fall Seed/BRED approved another $1.1MM & we purchased our 9th rowhome. In 2023 we hope to get to 30. We are hiring. We are rebuilding neighborhoods. Workers & tenants own the wealth they are creating. -
