Let's build a covered market stall space together in Boulogne-Billancourt
A community-led a covered market stall space at the old Harmony bus depot that will serve 234 neighbors.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France1,178 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Harmony bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,800.
It will serve about 234 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Materials: $2,150
• Permits and inspections: $180
• Safety equipment and signage: $270
• Tools hire and delivery: $200
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Adam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
