I hope they eventually look into cooperatives for sewer/water/energy. They’re a great way to manage larger projects on a consensual basis.

- linsomniac 7y agoThis is an interesting case because it is the city that benefits from having the sewer (through sales tax revenue of attracting big stores), and the individuals who'd be served by the cooperative already have septic systems. I guess the individuals would indirectly benefit via the improved city services.
- Empact 7y agoI would seek to bring in several new stores as the initial members, and borrow against the agreed-upon future revenues. No city borrowing, efficient infrastructure development, and if the project fails somehow the city has no obligation to act.
