The waterfront site, Forbes Park, is a virtual island oasis and will feature eco-friendly units that get their electricity from an onsite wind turbine; provide residents with access to a fleet of electric cars (yes, they are powered by the turbine, too); heavy use of passive solar heat and passive cooling via large hopper-style windows to maximize natural light and air, as well as rain-water capture and reuse systems, to name a few. Not to mention, 12 of the 18-acre site will be restored to its natural environment with the establishment of a sprawling conservation easement and the reintroduction of wildlife habitat. New England-based artists are sought for artwork to show in the units. There are three units to fill and seek hanging work (art, photos, fabric, etc.), sculptures, pottery, lighting... whatever. Space is limited, so acceptance is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
