BUCKMINSTER FULLER GEODESIC DOME IN NORTH CAROLINA

Our company's current mission is to acquire Shelton Cove Village, a parcel of land in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina (near Maggie Valley) that is home to the Aspenglow Retreat and Conference Center (comprised of several multi-use buildings on 37 acres of woodland, meadowland, a stream, areas suitable for hiking, wildlife, and other features of natural beauty) upon which to establish an eco-educational-health-spiritual center and community retreat, with a music and performing arena, gift shop, restaurant, nature sanctuary, and memorial garden. It is also home to a 50-ft. tri-level greenhouse from John Denver’s Windstar Foundation, erected there in 1986. Ultimately we will serve as a forum for fostering new attitudes by promoting an appreciation of nature, indigenous cultures, music and the arts, and serving as a network for the sharing of ideas, visions, and the highest aspirations of humanity...to offer a sense of how to make the world a more sustainable, equitable place for all peoples.

One of our goals is to investigate the viability of re-establishing the biodome as a functional environmental project, and add other alternative environmental technologies such as solar and wind, as well as a food co-op.

We are seeking an investor or investors to help us acquire the funds for purchase, repairs, and start-up capital. If anyone is interested in learning more, please contact us for our complete business plan!
