There are five Villages that are open in the Capital Region, and several that are in the development phase.
For the purposes of the CRVC, an “open” Village is a Village that has started to accept membership and is offering services or activities.
For more information on individual Villages go to the “Villages Spotlight” and “Events” pages on the CRVC website.
To get involved in developing Villages or to consider starting one in your neighborhood, start by registering for the Capital Region Villages Collaborative (CRVC) emails by clicking here.
