The above referenced guides will be produced from extensive data collected from researches, and the creation of infinitely sustainable demonstration settlements and city domains.

In addition to producing extensive guides and support for newly forming settlements, Shiloh's Garden Plan will create and test a self renewing fund and self regenerating system of assistance and funding of additional settlements that will result in each test settlement financing a new settlement as often as every three to five years. Each of those new settlements will do the same, and so on.

The above plan is estimated to cost approximately 13.5 million plus the estimated costs for each of the following steps. The above plan will be accomplished in the following manner.

Shiloh's Garden Plan will create the first renewing fund and the first settlement, called The Little Muddy Eco-Farm.

Extensive Data will be collected throughout the process
Data will be compiled and published as guides.
Estimated Cost of approximately
22.7 million

The Little Muddy Eco-Farm will fund the second settlement with a three fold purpose.

To test and expand the effectiveness of the guides for creating a settlement relatively quickly and easily.

To create an operating renewing fund within the settlement that will be used to financially support a new settlement every three to five years.

To collect extensive data in creating the expanding network process and to use that data to create written guides to assist other settlements in creating a self-renewing fund that is capable of establishing a new settlement every three to five years.

Estimated cost of approximately 15 million

The third settlement will also have a three fold purpose

bulletTo test and refine the guides created in the previous two steps
bulletTo establish a broad base of demonstration settlements in North America.
bulletTo collect additional data for the continued refinement of guides provided to any and all future settlement groups.
bulletEstimated cost of approximately 15 million

Shiloh's Garden Plan will also be creating an Eco Community Demonstration with three goals

bulletCreate a self-sustaining model for city conversions to infinitely sustainable off grid lifestyles.
bulletcollect data for City Domain Conversion Guides including neighborhood restoration models.
bulletCreate a growing network of city domains in Denver that will be easily duplicated in cities throughout North America.
bulletEstimated cost of approximately 1.2 million for first city domain and 800,000 each for two test city domains.

Shiloh's Garden Plan will create most of the following educational products during the first two years of the first settlement.

  1. A full home school curriculum for settlement families that meets all current state and federal educational requirements.
  2. For all grade levels, a public school curriculum teaching infinitely sustainable lifestyles and transitions.
