We believe that the physical spaces and landscapes we inhabit inform our social and mental wellbeing. By taking ownership over the building of our neighborhood, we can better determine how we live our daily lives. For this reason, it is essential that we put control of development—from conception to construction—back into the hands of the people impacted by this development. 

We believe in creating fulfilling, sustainable work for interested Midway neighbors. Our "learning by working" model creates and ongoing exchange of knowledge between experienced participants and less experienced participants.
