Makerhoods created Employment-Oriented Development to provide affordable productive space, permit cleaner small-scale manufacturing, and connect entrepreneurs to business support.

Makerhoods is bringing the beloved, traditional “living above the store” model – which supported families, inspired entrepreneurship, and created sustainable communities for decades – into the digital age. Makerhoods integrates affordable living, space for light manufacturing, the creative explosion of the “maker movement,” business support, and a shared digital platform in support of a completely new paradigm to catalyze economic development.
