Lifelong Learning is a key cornerstone in Luck Development Partner’s Ni Village.
A sustainable development, Ni Village will evolve around a shared educational center integrating multiple institutions focused on resource conservation, green technology development and sustainable living.
The Smith Mill Education Center will be a major attraction for talent, a broad range of local and regional participants and various resources. The Center is designed to accommodate an integrated university and community college campus and conference facility focused on green curriculum.
Designed for Learning
Located on the west side of Ni Village, the Education Center is designed as a new version of a classic mill yard with brick, stone and masonry architecture and plaza spaces -interconnected buildings designed as a precinct within the Ni Village. Buildings will be required to incorporate a high level of energy and environmental standards. A central commons provides a social and academic heart for the Center.
The Smith Mill Education Center and Ni Village in its entirety will be a place of innovative research and higher education, where school policies and programs are created and visions for lifelong learning are shaped and accomplished.
What is the timing for this project? Has a constructor been identified? If not how will the work be executed–through the developer? Through the commonwealth? How?
Is there someone I could call with my questions?

Ms. Honey,
We are going in front of the Planning Commission on August 3 at 7:30 and September 13th for the Board of Supervisors hearing; both these are needed to obtain the rezoning for the Development. We have our pattern books, plans for the development but until we approve this rezoning we have gone no further as to retain a contractors or construction partners for the development. This development is a private owner. You may email anytime you like our go to our “contact us” page on the Ni Village.com site or the Lucklegacy.com site and someone will get back to you promptly.
Thank you for your inquiry we look forward to posting more developments on the property; stay tuned!

Thank you Mr. Paul, since we have not started the development but are in the partnering stages we are not at a point yet to conduct the classes; however, I will save your email and share your earthpreservers.com with them. I thank you for leaving a message and look forward to taking a look at your site myself. Keep in touch.
