Focused on making a comprehensive asset map of our target area. We see this as a temporary cluster (that will revive on occasion as new assets emerge). “Assets” include non-profit and for-profit social enterprise assets, farm assets, land assets, and financial assets, across all “traditional sectors.”
We recognize that there are large asset databases already (ASAP – farm; Manna – community; Blue Ridge Forever, Appalachian Southern Highlands Conservancy & Buncombe County – land/farm; Land of Sky Regional Council – Linking Lands Initiative – land/farm… among others), and that this group will use those database assets to compile an even more comprehensive database across categories.
