Future Thinkers Smart Village is becoming a reality!

We have found a new, large 400 acre property with the right zoning, infrastructure and everything else we could need to make the village happen. The property has a RV camp with 80 accommodation spots, a private lake, two creeks, large forest, even a golf course, and the closest airport is just a two hour drive from there.

In this episode we want to share with you where we are right now with this project, as well as our plans and visions for how the smart village would look like on this new location.

In This Episode of Future Thinkers:

- Why we are creating the Smart Village and what problems we are solving with it
