We have received a donation of land in Norwood, Colorado from the Board of County Commissioners of San Miguel County, Colorado. We have completed annexation of the land into the town of norwood, and the Subdivision approval process. The land is sufficient to build six houses for Habitat families. We expect to complete infrastructure improvements by the end of August 2008, and strart construction of three houses in September. One will be a BlitzBuild House with Evans Construction Company of Telluride building a house in a week. The other two will be built with volunteers. If you want to volunteer to help build a house, call 970 728-5515 to sign up.

The first two families have been selected for the houses in Norwood. Amy Smith and her daughter, Chyenne; and Amanda Joseph and her sons, Broc and Cash.
