Nearly 40 years go, 13 homeowners in Meredith Center, New Hampshire banded together to purchase the land beneath their homes with the help of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, becoming the first Resident Owned Community. Jason and Jeff Sirles grew up in the cooperative, and their father, Bob, was the ROC’s first Board President. In this episode, Jason and Jeff reflect on the sense of community and the generosity of the community sellers. Tune in to hear their perspectives on how growing up in a ROC shaped their childhoods, and how it set them up for success in life.
