Posted project update #212/4 Update
Post CommentHello everyone! It's been a while since our last update (sorry! We've been busy!), and we wanted to share with you what we've got so far. It's been an interesting few weeks, full of surprises and let downs, but altogether has been a great learning experience.
- We have a new team member in the Hostel:Northampton project, her name is Dena Marger (you can check out her bio on the front page)! We're all really excited about expanding our project and tapping into new resources, and this is a giant step forward in that realm.
- We've checked out around 6 new properties since we last updated, some were amazing, others not so great. The most recent on is a fairly large building (3,000+ Square feet), totally gutted, and ready for a big renovation. Room sizes look like they'd work for what we need them too, and we're in the process of meeting with the City to figure out what we'd need to do for zoning regulations.
- As always, work is continuing on our business plan, as well as our official LLC paperwork. We've made alot of headway, and are working on tailoring it to our site-specific needs, which change with every new building we look at.Thank you for your continued support throughout this process, and please, fi you know others who are interested in starting the first hostel in the Pioneer Valley, please, please, please! Encourage them to help support our project!
Thanks again!
The Hostel:Northampton Project.

Posted project update #1Hostel Update #1!
Post CommentHello friends!
First things first, thank you so much for taking the time (and money!) to support us. In the past couple of days we've been talking with realtors, finding out what we would need to do to a property to bring it up to town code, and looking into forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company).
Our next step is to continue with the all-consuming task of writing the business plan and continue making calls to the Northampton Building Inspector until someone calls us back. Oh, the joys of real estate shopping!
Hopefully soon we'll have some more exciting news :)
