JAZZ TOWN USA A VILLAGE FOR JAZZ & BLUES MUSICIANS
Why artist housing is just another kind of Workforce housing: In issues of neighborhood change and displacement, and the potential lack of affordable homes and studios such change can cause, artists have a lot at stake. Past articles have suggested that artists can be the “shock troops” of gentrification. But new research and reporting finds that the relationship between the arts and real estate isn’t that simple. As Valderas’s work argues, they’re most often the victims Cities also have a lot at stake. As the economic impact of arts and cultural programming has become better documented, the connection between a city’s economic growth, its artist community, and its ability to provide housing and studio stock to support that community becomes an increasingly pressing issue. The big business of art and culture The belief that tech and creative industries are the primary drivers of the 21st-century economy has created an environment where arts and culture are seen as important signs of a thriving, growing city.
Scottsdale Jazz Festival 2022/23 to Raise Funds to Build Workforce Housing for Jazz & Blues Musicians Jazztown USA has a mission to build a low cost Workforce Housing community for Jazz & Blues Musicians will be exploring the idea of using modular construction integrated with renewable energy smart home technology for its Jazztown community and Tiny Housing construction. The differences between the “traditional stick built” methods of construction versus the “modular” method are showing to be a great way to go. We will be studying the advantages and disadvantages of the modular process along with how we’re integrating renewable energy smart home components to create netzero (NZEB) properties, with the CEO of S2A Modular Brian Kuzdas. Mr. Kuzdas is a real estate developer and investor who believe in building innovation & Sustainable Energy homes. The CEO and developers of Jazztown USA is looking to build new homes for its community, and would like to get the process done 30%-40% faster at a cost savings of
10%-20% of the original stick built method while building a stronger product. We are very interested in sustainability, renewable energy, smart home technology, and energy efficient home components integrated with green living. We like the concept of S 2 Modular homes because of the inclusion of a residential storage battery, such as the Tesla Powerwall for example and Tesla solar roof tiles, while adding high energy efficient windows, doors, insulation, heating, etc. to maximize the battery’s use. Jazztown USA developer “William Doc Jones” Wants to build a community or subdivision of homes quicker, stronger and for less money. Join the movement to build affordable housing for Creative Artist.
