Green House® Living for Sheridan - Sheridan, Wyoming (4 GREEN HOUSE® homes – in development)
“Have you heard about The Green House Project?” This question was first asked several years ago by a caregiver at the Sheridan Senior Center in Sheridan, Wyoming. The Center later participated in the PBS documentary, "And Thou Shalt Honor," a poignant film illustrating the many aspects of caregiving. Again, they were asked if they had heard of The Green House Project. After observing the Center’s passion for improving the lives of elders, the filmmaker commented, “Sheridan would be a great place to get this started!” Guided by an interdisciplinary team of community, industry, and government leaders, Green House® Living for Sheridan will build four homes on more than two acres of land, conveniently located one mile west of the Sheridan Memorial Hospital. While they don’t anticipate breaking ground until 2008, this team has already broken significant ground in the legislative arena.
