Tonight:We want your feedback in choosing a plan for the Tiny House that we will build in Garfield.
With your help, we’ll be able to choose the best option from many different possibilities.
So what did we hear during the December brainstorming session?
Gardens + public transportation access are important.
1)
Proximity to Penn Avenue is important.
2)
3) Most wanted a tiny (but not teeny tiny) house with a sleeping loft, outdoor space, and laundry.
