In my previous weblog I mentioned that the Cannon River Community Land Trust (CLT)was formed in October of 2001. However, the formal creation of the group was preceded by almost two years of work by dedicated members of the Northfield Community, who started this process by serving on a steering committee that was researching the issue. Members of this steering committee included the following:
- Wendy Thorpe
- Donald Tarr
- Kris Vohs
- Thomas Neuville
- David Shumway
- Kim Clausen
- Joel West
Upon the conclusion of the work by the steering committee, a number of the members from that group became incorporators of the Cannon River Community Land Trust. These incorporators were:
- Wendy Thorpe
- Donald Tarr
- Kris Vohs
- Tomas Neuville
- Joel West
Thank you to all the members of the the steering committee and the incorporators of the Cannon River Community Land Trust for their dedication to affordable housing in Northfield. I would also like to thank Michael Brown from Burlington Associates for his assistance in guiding the steering committee and the incorporators through the policy and technical aspects of creating a land trust.
